Patrick William Wright, 29, was shot and killed in Galveston, Texas, on the night of June 20, 2025. Witnesses and incident logs place the shooting at the corner of 36th Street and Avenue R (the 3800 block of Avenue R), where an argument reportedly broke out between Wright and a ride-share driver. Investigators later confirmed Wright was struck twice in the chest and died that evening; funeral notices and memorial pages identify him as a Galveston resident.

Hours after the shooting a 37-year-old Uber driver from Humble, identified as Sanddy Diaz Pino, was arrested on a murder charge after gunshot residue testing initially appeared to implicate him. Prosecutors dismissed that charge within days after police acknowledged discrepancies and false positives in the testing and cited new evidence that undercut the initial conclusions. No one remained in custody after the dismissal, and authorities had not announced any new suspects or further arrests as of the latest reports.

Did anyone in the area on June 20 see the confrontation or the vehicle involved and can share details with investigators?
