🚨 Court docs say a suspect allegedly traveled to Lubbock with one goal: to kill a child molester.
Joseph Barrera, 25, was accused of fleeing on a scooter after the shooting back in July. The victim, 61-year-old Richard Paul, was pronounced dead at the scene.
Authorities believe Barrera tried to paint and sell the scooter after the murder. He was arrested in Spur, Texas on Thursday.
