On October 23, 2010, 7-year-old Sabastian Alvizo was found dead in a dilapidated home in East Austin alongside his mother, 39-year-old Carla Alvizo. Their deaths were connected to the slaying of 67-year-old Edward Randall Stout, who was found dead under a black tarp at his home in eastern Travis County. Authorities charged Sabastian’s mother’s former boyfriend, 45-year-old Marco Antonio Garcia, with capital murder in the deaths of all three victims.

Garcia, who was living in the United States illegally at the time, pleaded guilty to capital murder and was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole. Prosecutors treated the multiple deaths as one continuous crime, which made Garcia eligible for the death penalty, but the Travis County District Attorney declined to seek capital punishment, citing Garcia’s acceptance of responsibility and that the death penalty is not used in his native Mexico. Baldwin Elementary School provided counseling for students after the loss of their classmate. Sabastian was remembered as a happy-go-lucky first grader who loved his school and friends.

Did anyone in the community know Sabastian or his family and have information that could add context to what happened?
