Miguel Vasquez, 26, of San Antonio was shot and killed on May 17, 2014, during a bar fight at the Greenhouse Rooftop Garden club on the city’s North Side. Garza was arrested in the parking lot shortly after the incident and taken to University Hospital, where Vasquez later died of his injuries.

The case was prosecuted as murder. At trial a bartender testified she saw Garza pull out a gun and shoot Vasquez during the melee. Garza faced a maximum sentence of life in prison. The shooting prompted discussion locally about violence and safety at nightlife venues.
