On October 31, 2020, on the side of a country road, Chad Luera, 30, was allegedly stabbed 93 times by 25-year-old Alexander Yoichi Duberek.

Authorities claimed Duberek came at the Lubbock airport that evening with the intention of meeting his partner, who resides in Plainview.
Duberek hired a cab to a Sam’s Club, where he paid $3,000 for a Toyota Camry in the parking lot. The press statement claims that he then went to a Walmart and purchased a knife, hatchet, gas can, collapsible shovel, headlamp, pants, boots, personal hygiene products, and a first aid kit.
He then went over to Luera’s house and informed his family that he was going to take him on a date. At the sentencing hearing on Thursday, the prosecution stated that they had intended to stay at a hotel.
“This defendant explained the date night he had planned for the two of them while looking his boyfriend’s relatives in the eyes. But rather than offering a romantic evening, he carried out a cruel plot to kill a 30-year-old man and dispose of his body, according to U.S. Leigha Simonton, an attorney, stated in the statement.
After killing Luera and disposing of his body, he went to Houston.
