Marcos Garcia was 15 and had just finished his freshman year at Deer Valley High School when he died on June 8, 2017. He was spending the first day of summer vacation at a friend’s house on Palomar Drive in Antioch, California, when a classmate, also 15, accidentally shot him in the chest with a pellet rifle while the boys were reportedly playing inside the home.

Neighbors tried to help and paramedics transported Marcos to a hospital, but he died shortly after arrival. The Antioch Police Department investigated and determined the shooting was an accident; police reported no signs of foul play, no arrest was made, and no charges were filed. Friends and family remembered Marcos as a likable, loyal, and talented soccer player, and the community responded with shock and grief.

Does anyone have memories of Marcos or information about that day that could add context to what happened?
