One person is in police custody after a Friday night fight turned deadly in Lubbock

UPDATE:

A 25-year-old man arrested in connection with a late-September deadly shooting was released from jail on Wednesday. Oct. 11, after prosecutors filed to dismiss the murder charge against him.

Isaac Deleon had been held at the Lubbock County Detention Center for about 13 days after investigators obtained a warrant for his arrest charging him with murder in connection with the Sept. 29 shooting death of 41-year-old Ismael Saenz in the 3200 block of Baylor Avenue.

On Wednesday, prosecutors filed a motion to dismiss the charge, citing insufficient evidence, according to court documents.

Officials at the Lubbock County District Attorney's Office said the investigation remains pending and could not comment on the case.

One person is in police custody after a Friday night fight turned deadly in northeast Lubbock.

Police were called at 10:26 p.m. for reports of a fight in progress in the 3200 block of Baylor Avenue, according to a statement from the Lubbock Police Department.

Upon arrival, officers found 41-year-old Issac Saenz with multiple gunshot wounds. He was pronounced dead on the scene.

Through LPD's initial investigation, it appears a group of individuals gathered in the area to fight one another — one of them being 25-year-old Isaac Deleon.

According to LPD, it appears that Saenz approached the group, at which point Deleon shot him.

It was not made clear at the time the motive behind the shooting.

A warrant was issued and Deleon was arrested and transported to the Lubbock County Detention Center without incident.
