Anthony Garcia, a 41-year-old Hispanic man, was fatally shot outside a downtown San Antonio nightclub during the early hours of December 31, 2017, when the club was crowded for New Year’s Eve. Witnesses reported hearing gunshots and saw a man matching Garcia’s description handling a firearm immediately before and after the shooting.

Law enforcement identified 24-year-old Mark Anthony Garcia as a suspect; he was arrested, tried, and after 13 hours of jury deliberation was found guilty of murder and sentenced to 20 years in prison. The defense argued Mark Anthony Garcia was trying to stop another man, Hector Lozano, from firing; prosecutors relied on witness statements and forensic analysis. Hector Lozano, 29, was alleged to be involved, had at one point pleaded guilty in 2011 and agreed to testify against Mark Anthony Garcia in exchange for a reduced sentence, then attempted to rescind that plea and was found hiding in a dumpster near the nightclub.

Several family members gave emotional testimony during the trial. Are there witnesses or anyone with additional details about what happened outside the nightclub that night?
