Texas Tech DL John Scott III remains hospitalized after shooting

The man who allegedly shot him is now in police custody, but Texas Tech defensive lineman John Scott III is still hospitalized after a shooting at a Lubbock apartment complex on Saturday evening.

Scott remains at University Medical Center in Lubbock, but Red Raiders head coach Matt Wells released a statement Tuesday saying Scott has been moved from the Intensive Care Unit and is now in stable condition.

“We were glad to learn John had been released from the ICU yesterday. We told our players during a team meeting, and their faces immediately brightened up as they looked forward to seeing their teammate and friend. Our program will continue to support John and his family as he begins his recovery, and we are thankful for the quality of care he has received since Saturday. We ask all Red Raiders to please keep John and his family in their continued thoughts and prayers.”

Asia Devine Jackson, a 24-year-old, has been booked on one count of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and is currently being held in Lubbock County Jail without bond. Kiana Pipkins, a 19-year-old, was also treated with minor-to-moderate injuries after the shooting.

A native of Hitchcock, Texas, Scott redshirted in 2018. No timetable for his release has been established.
