Walter Galicia, a 20-year-old Hispanic man from Midland, Texas, was fatally shot on May 28, 2016, near the Midland Polo Club. He suffered two gunshot wounds and died at Midland Memorial Hospital. Witnesses identified 26-year-old Midland resident Ernesto Natividad as the alleged shooter, and Natividad was charged with first-degree felony murder in connection with Galicia’s death.

The investigation treated Natividad as the primary suspect; he was arrested and tried. The case drew significant local attention and proceeded through the courts, including review by the Texas Court of Appeals in 2019. The family’s search for closure and the legal back-and-forth illustrate the long and complex path this homicide followed.

Are there details anyone remembers from the area or that evening that could shed more light on what happened near the Midland Polo Club?
