Police have named a second "person of interest" in the murder of a Lubbock mother, who was found dead in her home over the weekend. Investigators say they need the public's help locating the wanted man and getting him into police custody.
Officials are looking for 27-year-old Raymundo Garza Jr. He's wanted for questioning concerning the murder of Tina Marie Sanchez. Sanchez was found dead Sunday afternoon at her home at 3113 Emory. Her truck went missing sometime after her murder, and police have been searching area playa lakes trying to find it. Joe Rangel, Sanchez's boyfriend, has also been named a person of interest in the case, but now, police want to bring in Garza for questioning as well. Cpt. Greg Stevens with the LPD says, "We can't discuss what led us to him at this time. That may be what allows us to eliminate him as a suspect or name him as a suspect ... down the road."
An arrest warrant has been issued for Garza for a parole violation in an unrelated case. Police say it's possible he is driving the victim's missing truck. It's a 2000 White Dodge Dakota with Texas tag number 08MZH7. If you know anything about this homicide, call the Crimeline at 741-1000.
