Lubbock police are investigating a death after eyewitnesses say a man fell to his death Monday night at the Lone Star Amphitheater.

Police were called to the scene around 8:00 p.m. Monday on the report of a possible dead body.

When they arrived, we're told, they found a man who had fallen off a balcony and, according to eyewitnesses, landed on his head.

Eyewitnesses say the man fell after trying to get into a concert at the venue with some sort of knife and was told the knife wasn't allowed. When he wasn't allowed in, we're told, he tried jumping off a balcony onto the roof of another building, which is when he fell.

Police released few details Monday night but an investigator with the Lubbock County Medical Examiner's office was called to the scene.

The concert continued as planned. Patrons walking past the scene said they had no idea anything had happened and were shocked to hear of the death.
