Francisco Javier Pasillas, a 33-year-old Hispanic man, was shot and killed on August 22, 2019, in Garland, Texas, after a road-rage confrontation. Pasillas was traveling with his wife, Janet Martin, when another driver allegedly pulled in front of their SUV, hit the brakes and then produced a gun. Security footage and witness statements show Pasillas threw a glass bottle at the other vehicle before shots were fired; his wife attempted to get him to a hospital but he died of his injuries.

He has said he fired because he believed he was being shot at after hearing a loud pop and seeing his rear window shatter. The department has forwarded the case to a grand jury and the family has protested publicly, insisting Pasillas was unarmed and did not pose a threat.
