Ivan Sergio Garcia-Rincon, a 34-year-old Hispanic man, was shot and killed on July 13, 2022, in Brownwood, Texas. Born August 19, 1987, in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico, he was married to Ashley Garcia and was father to five children. Family and friends remember him for cooking, barbecuing, spending time outdoors with his animals, and his art and tattooing.

On the night of July 13, multiple 911 calls reported shots fired in the 2700 block of Elizabeth Drive. Officers found Garcia-Rincon with a gunshot wound and two women attending him; he was taken to a hospital but died of his injuries. Investigators say 28-year-old Jose Alfonso Portillo of Brady, Texas, arrived to speak with one of the women, got into an argument with Garcia-Rincon, and fired several shots as Garcia-Rincon ran toward Portillo’s vehicle. Portillo was reportedly located sitting in his vehicle at the end of the street and arrested.

Ivan’s family describe his sudden, violent death as a devastating loss. If anyone knew him, his routines, or witnessed the events that night, please come forward with information.
