Gregorio Gonzales Lucio, a 51-year-old Hispanic male, tragically passed away on December 27, 2014, in Corpus Christi, Texas. He was born on July 17, 1963, in San Antonio, Texas, and was a resident of Corpus Christi for six years before his death. Gregorio was well-known in his community and is remembered fondly by his family and friends.
The circumstances surrounding Gregorio's death were initially unclear, but it was later revealed that he was fatally shot behind the Corpus Christi
Trade Center. The incident occurred on December 27, 2014, and also resulted in injuries to two other individuals. The investigation into Gregorio's death led to the arrest of Gilberto Garcia, who was accused of the shooting.
Gilberto Garcia was arrested in January 2015 in connection with the murder. He faced charges of murder and aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. During the trial, two witnesses testified against Garcia, claiming he was the shooter. However, the defense argued that the witnesses were unreliable and had gang affiliations, which may have influenced the jury's decision. Ultimately, Gilberto Garcia was found not guilty of the charges in November 2017.
The case drew significant attention due to the conflicting testimonies and the eventual acquittal of the accused. Despite the outcome, Gregorio's family and friends continue to seek justice and closure for his untimely death.
Gregorio Gonzales Lucio's legacy lives on through his family, including his wife Laura Gonzalez Lucio, children Katrina Lynn, Greg Allen Lucio, and Angel Gonzales Lucio, and stepchildren Angelica Valdez, Lorena Gonzales, and Tony Valdez Jr. He is remembered for his kindness, dedication to his family, and his contributions to the community.
