    At approximately 7:28 PM on Sunday, February 21, 2016 the Texas Tech Police Department received a 911 call and dispatched officers to investigate an Aggravated Robbery. A female student reported she was approached in a parking lot on the east side of Horn Hall by a black male armed with a handgun. The male demanded that she exit and give him her vehicle. The victim began screaming and hit the male in the head with her hand. The male took the female's purse and car keys and ran to a vehicle which was occupied by three additional black males. The suspect vehicle then left the area and was last seen traveling north bound.

    The Lubbock Police Department was notified as the suspect vehicle was believed to have left the campus.
