Indictments returned against suspects in 1997 Lubbock homicide
Two men arrested in January in connection with the 23-year old homicide case of a man who was gunned down in front of his East Lubbock home were indicted Tuesday by a Lubbock County grand jury.
Pedro Erevia, 47, and Fabian Madrid, 44, are charged with murder in connection with the Sept. 9 1997 shooting death of 26-year-old Steven Earl Johnson.
The men were identified as suspects in Johnson s slaying after witnesses provided sworn statements that helped investigators identify Erevia and Madrid as Johnson s killers.
Officers responding to a shots fired call about 12:45 a.m. in the 2700 block of East Colgate Street found Johnson lying in front of his residence.
