Erik Garcia was 22 when he was fatally shot in Houston on November 4, 2013. The shooting happened in the early hours while he was walking through his neighborhood; witnesses heard gunshots and saw people fleeing. Emergency responders found Garcia with multiple gunshot wounds and he was pronounced dead at the scene.
Initial investigations produced few leads until an anonymous Crime Stoppers tip pointed to Lance Baxter Williams, who was later charged in connection with the killing. Investigators say an altercation between Garcia and Williams escalated after an argument over a drug transaction and payment, which reportedly ended with Williams shooting Garcia. The Houston Police Department asked anyone with further information to come forward.
If anyone witnessed the shooting or knew about the dispute between Garcia and Williams, please share what you know with Homicide investigators or Crime Stoppers.
