Gary Allen Barnhardt, 20, was shot to death on the evening of October 16, 2017, in San Antonio during what was supposed to be a drug transaction with three teenagers. The teens, identified as Michael Aguilar, Emmanuel Herrera, and Charles Robnett, all were 18 at the time. According to the investigation, the teenagers attempted to steal the drugs instead of buying a small amount of marijuana, and robbery was identified as the motive for the shooting.

Prosecutors upgraded the case to capital murder. At trial, Aguilar testified against Robnett as part of a plea agreement, admitting his role in the robbery and saying Robnett aimed his gun and fired multiple shots while Herrera also fired several times into Barnhardt’s car. Robnett was convicted of capital murder and given life without the possibility of parole; the state did not seek the death penalty. Aguilar and Herrera were also charged with capital murder.

Does anyone have information about Gary, the transaction that night, or the people involved that could shed more light on what happened?
