Justin Douglas Gage, a 20-year-old male student at Texas State University, was tragically shot and killed on December 6, 2015, at The Retreat apartment complex near the campus in San Marcos, TX. Gage was visiting a friend's apartment when three masked men entered the apartment, one of whom brandished a gun. A struggle ensued between Gage's friend and one of the suspects, during which Gage was shot.
He was transported to University Medical Center-Brackenridge but never regained consciousness and succumbed to his injuries.
The suspects, described as black males aged between 5'8" and 5'10" with dark complexions, were wearing masks and hoodies. They fled the scene, and despite an extensive investigation, they have not been identified or apprehended. The San Marcos Police Department believes that the shooting was part of a series of similar robberies in the area, possibly involving drugs.
The case remains unsolved, and the San Marcos Police Department continues to seek the public's help in identifying and capturing the suspects. The investigation has involved collaboration with the Texas Rangers, but no arrests have been made to date. The tragic death of Justin Douglas Gage has left a lasting impact on his family, friends, and the community, who remember him as a caring and loving individual.
