Luis Garcia, 42, of Laredo, Texas, was shot and killed during an attempted armed robbery in the early hours of Saturday, October 5, 2024. Garcia and a female passenger were sitting in his black Ford Expedition in the 100 block of West Aurora Drive when three people who allegedly knew them approached and tried to rob them at gunpoint. Garcia began to drive away and was struck by a chest wound; he lost control and crashed at Hillside Road and Haynes Avenue. First responders found him unconscious and he died at a local hospital. The passenger was not physically harmed and later assisted investigators as a witness.

Within 24 hours Laredo Police, with SWAT assistance, arrested 41-year-old Brissa L. Vega, 40-year-old Deborah Uresti, and 40-year-old David Cruz at a residence in the 8900 block of Snow Falls Drive. Police later recovered the firearm used in the shooting in the 600 block of East Bustamante Street, along with other items alleged to be stolen and linking the suspects to the victims. Vega, Uresti, and Cruz were charged with murder and entered not guilty pleas at arraignment. The investigation and prosecution were underway in October 2024.
