Good morning, Lubbock.

The United Family and its vendor partners donated $500,000 to 24 nonprofit organizations at the Jacky Pierce Charity Classic in Lubbock—checks were presented on August 24.

Four more rounds will be played today with over 500 golfers—continuing a tournament that has raised over $7 million for local causes since the nineties.

Lubbock Police are investigating after a pedestrian was found seriously injured on the 1100 block of West Loop 289 Access Road overnight — EMS transported the victim to UMC.

Three people were treated for injuries after a collision on 66th Street and Utica Avenue around 2 a.m. Sunday—one person had serious injuries and two had moderate injuries—and a residence was struck by a vehicle, police said.

Lubbock Police asked the public to help locate 23-year-old Kendrick 'Skrilla' Taylor—accused of fatally shooting 18-year-old Lawrence Brantley during an altercation on August 18 near 44th Street—and warned that he is armed and dangerous, offering up to $5,000 for tips leading to his arrest.

Fifty years ago, police responded to a call at a South Lubbock home in August 1975 and found Debbie Williamson dead with multiple stab wounds—her husband had returned from work after only 10 weeks of marriage; her family still seeks answers in the unresolved case.

Lubbock now has many sushi spots that serve fresh rolls made with fish or vegetables - local favorites like OHana Sushi earned top ratings and even grocery stores impress with quality sushi - giving diners new food options.

On Friday, August 30th the U.S. Air Force Band of the West will play a free concert in Lubbock—ending their summer tour.

The 61-musician band will perform patriotic marches and jazz tunes—giving a lively farewell to the season.

Lubbock’s concert venues are missing mid-sized spaces as local owners struggle with technical requirements and liquor license issues — challenges that force bands to bypass the city until new options open.

Fans may need to wait for venues that can host indoor shows with about 1,000 seats.
