Cesar Erasto Garcia, a 20-year-old Hispanic male, was shot and killed on May 24, 2019, in the parking lot of Freddy’s Frozen Custard on Spencer Road in the Copperfield area of Houston, Texas. He was found with multiple gunshot wounds to his face and neck. Witnesses heard gunshots and saw someone leave Garcia’s Buick LeSabre and get into a Navy blue Chevrolet Cruz that was parked and waiting.

Video and witness accounts show 19-year-old Matthew Schnaare entering the restaurant, buying a drink, then getting into the car with Garcia and leaving in the Chevrolet Cruz. Schnaare was arrested more than a month later and charged with murder; court documents note a prior conviction for possessing a handgun at Wisdom High School in January 2017. The family and friends of Garcia continue to mourn his loss.

If anyone saw Garcia or the Chevrolet Cruz in the Copperfield area on May 24, 2019, or has information about the shooting, please share what you know.
