Cristian Avila was a 16-year-old Hispanic male from Dallas who died on November 28, 2021, after being shot in an apartment at the Ridgecrest Apartments complex. He was taken to Presbyterian Hospital but did not survive.

Alexandre Orozco Garcia admitted the shooting was accidental and was charged with manslaughter. Hector Romero-Molina was questioned but not charged; he was reportedly providing medical assistance to Cristian at the time of the shooting. The Dallas Police Department investigated the circumstances and the legal proceedings against Alexandre Orozco Garcia were ongoing.

Cristian’s family and friends remembered him as helpful and loving who enjoyed spending time with his siblings and playing video games. Does anyone have information about Cristian, the apartment complex, or the events that night that could help clarify what happened?
