Jesus Garcia was 22 when he died on July 4, 2018, at his home in San Antonio. Neighbors reported loud arguments that night and said they saw Garcia dragging his wife, Lisa, inside the house. Officers responding found Garcia in an apparent mental crisis, holding a screwdriver to his neck and threatening to harm himself and to kill his wife if she left.

Deputy Brandin Moran fired seven shots within minutes of arrival; five struck Garcia and he died. An Elmendorf police sergeant attempted to de-escalate before Moran fired. The shooting prompted a federal civil rights lawsuit by Garcia’s family alleging reckless use of force and violations of the sheriff’s office policy. A grand jury indicted Moran on manslaughter, but the District Attorney later declined prosecution, citing insufficient evidence to win a conviction.

In August 2022 Bexar County settled the family’s lawsuit for an undisclosed amount; the settlement included a $200,000 payment to cover the county’s liability insurance deductible. Does anyone have information about the events inside the home that night or about contacts who knew Jesus and his family?
