Lubbock, TX — April 18, 2024, Tyler Obed Thompson was killed and Kahlil De Vaughn was injured in a car accident just before 8:00 p.m. along C.R. 1700.
According to authorities, two 21-year-old men—Tyler Obed Thompson and Kahlil De Vaughn—were traveling in a northbound Honda Fit on C.R. 1700 approaching the C.R. 8300 intersection when the accident took place.
