32-year-old Carlos Martinez is now in custody, facing three charges of aggravated assault on a peace officer, after police say he hit three LPD officers with his vehicle. The incident started at the Del Estrado Apartments in the 3200 block of 62nd Street around 1:15 p.m. Thursday. Officials say Martinez was evicted from his apartment Wednesday and was picking up his belongings when he got into an argument with another resident and officers were called to the scene. Police say Martinez would not comply with the officers’ demands to get out of his vehicle. Officers tazed Martinez, and as they were standing near the SUV, he began driving in reverse. One officer was able to grab a child in the front passenger seat and pull him to safety, but as the vehicle reversed, three officers were injured. Officers then fired multiple shots at the SUV. Martinez continued backing up, crashed into a police Tahoe and then drove away from the scene.
LPD tells us Martinez put the SUV in drive and started driving toward Officer Donovan Powell, who was lying on the ground, Officer Powell was struck by the vehicle. but they say he was able to jump out of the way before being run over. First responders classified his injuries as serious because they feared broken bones or internal injuries, but he was released from the hospital as on Thursday evening. Officer Mark Ellison suffered moderate injuries. Officer Saul Garay suffered minor injuries. The other two officers were also released from the hospital on Thursday evening. Honey, Miller and Waters Elementary were placed on lockdown during the incident. The suspect’s vehicle was found abandoned in an alleyway near 73rd and Joliet Ave. The manhunt continued Thursday and carried over into Friday.
On Friday morning, before 9 a.m., police began searching in the 3400 block of 73rd Street. Patrol officers, K9 units, mounted patrol, SWAT and detectives converged in the area of 73rd and Indiana. Police say Martinez went into several businesses in that area on Thursday night and Friday morning, wanting to use a phone to make calls. Martinez was captured near 74th and Joliet on Friday evening. Police say a citizen called around 4:30 p.m. to say she saw Martinez in an alley between 73rd and 74th Street near Joliet. Officers nearby responded and arrested Martinez without incident. He appeared dehydrated and was taken to the hospital for medical clearance. Once cleared, he will be taken to the Lubbock County Detention Center.

Those idiot cross fire at each other
1:45 CROSSFIRE! wow, how they didn't shoot each other is a mystery.
1:47 he just disturbed the poor police's nap on the floor. WHY?!
I'm sure he was just running late going to Bingo
He wasn't coming toward them he was backing away from him but the police is always right
He left his kid behind?!
Police USA 🤮🤮🤮🤮
I predict he will not face eviction in his new home.
As always police could not handle the situation and took the worst part. The officers who were injured won't have their bodies restored even if this guy remains in jail.
Crossfire always amazes me.
Those cops almost killed each other
Sometimes it the cool and collective guys you need to watch out for.
I'm quite impressed with the shunting power of this wee mini van ……. 2 cop cars transmissions due for replacement that's for sure.
Sé les pelo Baltazar!
All because of an expired license?
yo coppers, here's an idea, why don't you throw down some puncture strips when you pull someone over…duh
Im screaming crossfire!
I am sorry officer my hero how many crimes got a day save our life he is It will be a sacrifice i am very very Appreciate,
First line should be; hand me your keys pls.
I dont see any reason to pull a pistol and start firing…he wasnt armed. Lazy policing.
Lots of cross fire there.
Watch the cross fire guys. Great job.
I wonder if that kid was playing and singing, 'I was born in a crossfire hurricane.'
Carlos Martinez, a 34-year-old Lubbock man, has been sentenced to 16 years in the Texas Department of Corrections after he was found guilty of aggravated assault of a peace officer.
But they won't shoot at a WHITE man dragging police on his pickup truck… SMDH
The Police is stupid. Crossfire everywhere.
I agree with most of the comments that was some terrible shooting and crossfire. Hell he almost wiped out half the police.
å°„æ’ƒã¸ãŸãã。ｗｗ
To all the armchair experts commenting, there was little if any danger from crossfire. If you slow it down and watch carefully, the only apparent shot that could have been an issue was by the officer on the right side and he was aiming high to low at about 1:45. The others shot as the car was forward of them. But believe what you want.
Ok sir you’re in deep trouble I’m gonna have to issue you a $30 ticket.
I ain’t going out like that!! You’ll never take me alive!!!!
this place is a nuthouse. aha!
he almost ran his own child over…
He left his kid behind?!
