On February 5, 2001, William Allen Garcia, a 44-year-old Hispanic test engineer, was shot and killed during a mass shooting at the Navistar International Corp. Diesel engine plant in Melrose Park, Illinois. The shooter, 66-year-old former employee William Daniel Baker, forced past a security guard at about 9:45 a.m. and opened fire with multiple weapons, including an SKS rifle concealed in a golf bag.

Four employees were killed in the attack: Garcia, Daniel T. Dorsch, 52, Robert E. Wehrheim, 47, and Michael Brus, 48; four others were wounded before Baker committed suicide.The families of the dead and injured later sued Vance Uniformed Protection Services, Inc., and the on-duty guard, Latessa Diamond, alleging negligent security.

If anyone knew Garcia, his work at Navistar, or saw activity at the plant that morning, please share what is known.
