Justin Douglas Gage was 20 and a Texas State University student when he was shot and killed on December 6, 2015, at The Retreat apartment complex in San Marcos, Texas. He was visiting a friend’s apartment when three masked men entered; one produced a firearm and a struggle between the friend and a suspect preceded the shooting. Gage was taken to University Medical Center–Brackenridge but never regained consciousness.

The suspects are described as black males about 5 feet 8 inches to 5 feet 10 inches with dark complexions, wearing masks and hoodies. They fled the scene, and the San Marcos Police Department, with assistance from the Texas Rangers, has linked the attack to a series of similar robberies in the area possibly involving drugs. No arrests have been announced and the case remains unsolved.

Anyone with information about that night or the suspects is asked to contact the San Marcos Police Department.
