Raul Alfredo Garcia, 35, was killed on August 31, 2019, during the Odessa mass shootings in Texas. A truck driver from El Paso, Garcia was shot on Interstate 20 while he was hours from home after a weeks-long trip; he had been looking forward to reuniting with his four children. His family remembered him as a loving, dedicated father who learned truck driving from his father and made a point of coming home during long runs.

The shooter had been stopped by police earlier and then carried out a more than 10-mile shooting rampage, randomly firing at motorists and officers before being killed by police near a movie theater. Seven people died in the incident, including Garcia, and many others were injured. No additional suspects were identified beyond the shooter.

Garcia’s funeral was held on September 7, 2019, in El Paso and his family and community have kept his memory alive. If anyone has information about Raul Alfredo Garcia or remembers seeing him on his last trip, please share what you know.
