On November 22, 2013, Thomas Bradley "Brad" Garza, a 26-year-old white male from Fort Worth, Texas, was fatally shot by law enforcement during the execution of a search warrant at a residence in north Fort Worth. According to available reports, Garza was armed with a shotgun and pointed it at officers as they entered the premises, prompting a narcotics officer to discharge his weapon, resulting in Garza's death.
The incident was investigated, and the case was presented to a Tarrant County grand jury. The grand jury declined to indict the officer involved, effectively concluding the legal proceedings related to the shooting.
Thomas Bradley Garza was born on March 31, 1987, and was survived by his mother, Luci; his brother, Mason; as well as grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins. A memorial service was held on December 14, 2013, at Lucas Funeral Home Chapel in Keller, Texas.
