On September 17, 1998,[1] Garcia attempted to rob Hugo Solano, a 36-year old Christian missionary from Guadalajara, Mexico who had moved to Houston to provide a U.S. education for his children. Garcia, a U.S. citizen,[3] was of Salvadoran descent,[4] and his native county was Harris County.[1] Garcia, a gang member, had a history of criminal activity involving assault, making a "terroristic threat" towards a teacher, theft, and trespassing.[5]
Garcia, with three other men, did the robbery attempt at an apartment complex at the 17000 block of Cali in unincorporatedHarris County.[6] He shot Solano three times after Solano refused to give him his wallet and received $8. García said that he shot Solano out of panic.[5]
