Brandon Garcia, a 29-year-old Hispanic man, was killed during a home invasion at about 1:30 a.m. on September 27, 2020, in the 7100 block of Eppes Street in Houston, Texas. His father was awakened by a loud noise and his son’s screams; shortly after the father heard a gunshot and found Brandon suffering from a gunshot wound. Garcia was taken to hospital and pronounced dead on arrival.

Two suspects were identified and arrested: Javier Hernandez, 22, and Anthony Aguilera, 17. Both were charged with capital murder in connection with the fatal shooting. Hernandez had been in custody on an unrelated felon-in-possession charge when he was charged in Garcia’s death, and Aguilera was taken into custody after a police chase involving Houston Police Department officers and members of the Gulf Coast Violent Offenders Task Force. The HPD Homicide Division conducted the investigation and the suspects were prosecuted on charges arising from the home invasion and shooting.
