OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :

On 07/31/2023, investigators with the Texas Anti-Gang Center and the Lubbock Police Department received a tip that 40-year-old Christopher Carter was staying at the Stadium Motel in the 4100 block of 19th Street. Carter was the subject of an arrest warrant in the homicide investigation of 18-year-old Lakaria Moore. Investigators established surveillance on the motel room beginning at approximately 10:30 a.m. Shortly before 1:40 p.m., officers attempted to have Carter exit the room. Another man exited instead and told officers that Carter had shot himself. Officers entered the room and found Carter dead from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound.
The investigation into Carter's death was handled by the Lubbock Police Department. Following his death, investigators continued their homicide investigation into Lakaria Moore's killing. On August 2, 2023, police arrested Tahdeejah Washington-Harris on a charge of hindering the apprehension or prosecution of a known felon, alleging she had helped Carter avoid arrest for approximately two weeks by providing hotel rooms and money. She was later indicted by a Lubbock County grand jury.
