Nazario Garcia, 60, was fatally shot on November 24, 2019, in the parking lot of a Raleigh shopping center on Austin Peay Highway in Memphis. The shooting followed a social media post by 50-year-old Gjuandell Effinger alleging an attempted abduction at a Walmart and identifying a white vehicle; video in that post showed Garcia’s white panel truck, its license plate, and his location.

Gjuandell’s sons, Favian Effinger, 26, and Miguel Effinger, 21, drove separately to the shopping center and confronted Garcia as he exited a store. Witnesses said the brothers opened fire with a shotgun and a handgun. Garcia tried to flee in his van but crashed; police found him near the vehicle with multiple gunshot wounds to the front and back and he was pronounced dead at the scene.

Favian and Miguel Effinger were arrested two days later; Gjuandell Effinger was also taken into custody. A grand jury later indicted the brothers for first-degree murder and Gjuandell for solicitation to commit first-degree murder. Investigators concluded Garcia had been mistakenly targeted.

Did anyone in the Raleigh shopping center area see the events leading up to the confrontation or recognize the white panel truck that day?
