Man charged in death of Lubbock State Supported Living Center resident

A 25-year-old man, Jercorye Bracy, has been arrested for the death of Dominick Balderas, a resident of the Lubbock State Supported Living Center. Balderas died on February 7 after an assault on February 3. Bracy faces a first-degree felony charge. Bracy was arrested during a traffic stop and is being held on a $150,000 bond. The investigation is ongoing, and details about Bracy's role at the center are not yet clear. This incident follows another investigation into a resident's death last year, where a staff member was charged with causing fatal injuries. The Lubbock Police Department is handling both cases.
