Rogelio Martinez-Garcia, a 50-year-old Hispanic man, was tragically killed on December 27, 2019, in Dallas, Texas. He was found in the parking lot of the Villas at La Risa apartments with a gunshot wound. Martinez-Garcia was taken to a hospital but unfortunately succumbed to his injuries. The incident occurred around 10 p.m., and the Dallas police were called to the scene shortly after.
The investigation revealed that Martinez-Garcia was taking out the trash when he was attacked by two
individuals. Surveillance footage captured the suspects, one wearing all black and the other in a black top and light-colored pants, running away after the shooting. The suspects were believed to have been attempting a robbery, as Martinez-Garcia's wallet, which contained cash, was still in his pocket when he was found.
Despite extensive efforts by the Dallas police, no arrests have been made in connection with the murder. Detective Christopher Walton has been leading the investigation and has urged anyone with information to come forward. The family of Martinez-Garcia, who described him as a loving stepfather and grandfather, has been vocal about seeking justice for his death.
The case remains open, and the Dallas police continue to work diligently to find those responsible for this senseless act of violence. The community has also been supportive, with Crime Stoppers offering a $5,000 reward for information leading to the arrest of the suspects.
It's a heartbreaking story, and the hope for justice for Rogelio Martinez-Garcia and his family remains strong.
