Nothing says “family drama” in Lubbock quite like a drive-by with your ex’s new flame riding shotgun. According to LPD, 19-year-old Devon Flores and his girlfriend, 18-year-old Zaniah Ortiz, turned a west-side neighborhood into their own personal shooting gallery Wednesday night. Police found bullet holes in the victim’s walls, casings in the driveway, and enough poor decisions to fill a reality show.
The alleged motive? Classic Lubbock relationship fallout. The victim told police she saw her family member’s ex—Ortiz—standing in the yard with a gun while Flores pointed his own right at her. After their impromptu ammo recital, the trio reportedly piled into a small Cadillac SUV (because of course it was a Cadillac) and sped off.
Authorities later tracked them down thanks to—you guessed it—doorbell camera footage, because in Lubbock, we trust Ring more than we trust common sense. Flores was booked on Aggravated Assault and Deadly Conduct, and Ortiz picked up her own matching charge. Bonds were set at $100,000 and $75,000, respectively—apparently the going rate for turning your ex’s house into Swiss cheese.
Honestly, between the bullets, the exes, and the Cadillac, all that’s missing from this story is a Whataburger parking lot and a TikTok livestream.
