## Resource

A chilling tragedy unfolds as 19-year-old Lucas Roper faces tampering with evidence charges after the drowning death of 18-year-old Daniel Erving in Lake Ray Hubbard. The teens jumped off a bridge — Erving didn’t survive. Roper allegedly tried to cover up the incident by deleting messages, tossing Erving’s phone and clothes, and directing another teen to dispose of the phone. Roper admitted he was scared of getting caught. Community advocates are demanding justice, calling the initial response a failure — especially since Erving was a young Black student. Roper’s bond was set at $10,000, but the investigation is far from over, with more charges looming. The community watches closely, insisting on transparency and accountability.
