The murder of four-year-old Cornelius Carrington has been cold for months despite an increasing reward for information on his killer. The case highlights the growing concern over gun violence in the city. Lubbock Police Chief, Floyd Mitchell, presented last year's crime statistics during a City Council meeting recently. He shared that while homicide numbers were down in 2021, shootings are still a big concern—something that he and others in the city are hoping to better.
