Manuel Trejo, 41, was shot to death on March 28, 2015, in the parking lot outside Don Dario’s Cantina at Interstate 35 and Slaughter Lane in Austin, Texas. The shooting occurred about 11:30 p.m.; Trejo was found shot in the restaurant parking lot after an apparent confrontation.

Police identified and charged 38-year-old Jacques DeCarlos Garcia with first-degree felony murder and with evading arrest after a high-speed chase that ended with his arrest at the Fox Hill Apartment complex. Investigators say both men were at the cantina celebrating separate birthday parties. Witnesses reported the dispute began when Garcia tried to reverse his vehicle and Trejo’s SUV blocked his path; the argument escalated and Garcia allegedly struck Trejo with the butt of a pistol before shooting him.

Bond was set at $250,000 on the murder charge and $20,000 for evading arrest. Trejo’s family and friends described him as a person of love and integrity. Does anyone who was at Don Dario’s that night or who knew Manuel have information that could help clarify what happened?
