A man is shot while he and his wife are waiting for a bus
David Garza was tragically murdered on April 3, 1994, in San Antonio, Texas. On that Sunday night, David and his wife were waiting for a bus at a bus stop located in the 3700 block of Broadway. It was just before 10:40 PM when they were approached by an unknown Hispanic male. This individual engaged David in conversation, asking him what time the bus was supposed to arrive. Without much warning, the situation escalated rapidly as the suspect pulled out a firearm and shot David at close range. David attempted to flee and managed to run a short distance while the suspect continued firing at him. Unfortunately, David collapsed in the parking lot of a nearby Subway restaurant and succumbed to his injuries soon afterward.
The suspect was described as a Hispanic male, standing between 5'9" and 6'0", and wearing a dark-colored striped shirt, baggy jeans, and a white or light-colored ball cap. Despite some descriptions provided at the time, the case remained unsolved, and no significant leads have ever led to an arrest. The nature of the crime suggested it was a random act of violence, as David Garza had no apparent connection to any activities or individuals that would explain such an attack. His death was devastating for his family, who were left to grapple with the lack of justice and closure regarding his untimely death.
The case of David Garza remains a cold case to this day, part of a larger set of unsolved homicides in San Antonio. The incident happened near a busy street, yet it has eluded resolution for decades. Authorities have periodically revisited the case, hoping new leads or modern investigative techniques might bring about a breakthrough. However, David's family is still waiting for justice to be served, and the murder of this innocent man continues to haunt those who remember the tragic events of that April night in 1994.
