A Lubbock County grand jury recently indicted two people accused of engaging in a gun battle earlier this month at a central Lubbock drive-in restaurant that sent one of them to the hospital and also injured another person.
T.J. Aguilar, 18, and Ethan Flores, 21, are charged with counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon for their roles in a shooting at a central Lubbock Sonic Drive-In.
The offense is a second-degree felony that carries a punishment of two to 20 years in prison.
The charges stem from a Lubbock police investigation that began Aug. 6 after police were called to a home in the 2000 block of Avenue K for a person with a gunshot wound.
Responding officers found in the home’s driveway a bullet-riddled gold Lincoln Town Car that matched the description of a vehicle involved in a reported shooting earlier that night at Sonic, according to court documents.
Officers found blood inside the vehicle that trailed into the home, leading officers to a bedroom where they found Aguilar suffering from a gunshot wound in his face, the documents state.
