Henry "Trey" McIntire Rodriquez III, a 35-year-old male of Hispanic ethnicity from Midland, TX, tragically passed away on April 25, 2014. He was a dedicated firefighter paramedic with the Midland Fire Department and also worked as a flight medic for AeroCare. Trey was known for his selflessness, generosity, and love for his children. His favorite activities included taking his kids camping and fishing.
On the day of his death, Trey responded to a shots-fired call at the 2200 block of
South Baird Street in Midland. When officers arrived, they found Trey outside the residence with life-threatening gunshot wounds. He was transported to Midland Memorial Hospital but succumbed to his injuries. The suspect, 35-year-old Nestor Castro Jr., barricaded himself inside the residence and engaged in a standoff with police. After several hours, Castro was found dead from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
The Midland Police Department, along with other agencies, conducted a full investigation into the incident. The community mourned the loss of Trey, who was remembered for his contagious smile and the positive impact he had on those around him.
Trey is survived by his wife, Dominga Rodriquez, and his children, Ethan, Jadyn, Uriah Rodriquez, and Briana Dennis. His family and colleagues from the Midland Fire Department and AeroCare continue to honor his memory.
