Juan Garay was 28 when he was shot and killed on August 10, 2019, at a home in the 7100 block of Grey Dawn Lane in Pleasant Grove, Dallas. He worked in general construction and remodeling with his uncle and cousin, and is remembered for his smile and for spending time with his daughters, Sophia and Julisa.

According to reports, Garay and 30-year-old Oscar Hurtado were grilling outside the house in the early morning when an argument broke out and escalated. Hurtado opened fire, fatally wounding Garay. Dallas police found Garay deceased at the scene; Hurtado was arrested at the scene, charged with murder, taken to the Dallas County jail with bond set at $250,000, and declined to speak with detectives after being advised of his Miranda rights.

The shooting left Garay’s family grieving and drew attention for how a domestic dispute turned deadly. If anyone knew Juan, was at Grey Dawn Lane that morning, or has information about the altercation, please share what is known.
