Christopher Cardoza, 17, was shot and killed in Garland, Texas on December 9, 2019. A witness drove him to Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital Dallas, but he died shortly after arrival. Investigators say the shooting happened during a meeting in a parking lot near the 3600 block of South 1st Street that had been arranged for a drug transaction.

Police arrested two 17-year-old males, Bryan Ibarra and Edgar Villegas-Torres, and booked them into the Garland Detention Center on murder charges; no bail was set for either. According to police, Cardoza and a friend had gone to meet Ibarra and Villegas-Torres, and Cardoza was shot while sitting in the front passenger seat of the car he had arrived in before the driver sped away to the hospital.

The case was handled as a murder investigation. Does anyone have information about the meeting that night or knew Christopher?
