Larry Garcia was a 49-year-old man who was fatally shot late on Saturday, November 15, 2025, on the 6300 block of Alcorn Avenue in southeast Dallas. Police were called about 11:40 p.m.; officers found Garcia suffering from gunshot wounds on the street and Dallas Fire-Rescue crews pronounced him dead at the scene. Public memorial records list his death as a life lost to gun violence on November 16, 2025.

The shooting prompted an intense homicide investigation. Detectives canvassed the neighborhood, and early reports described the case as unsolved with few public details about what led up to the shooting. On November 17, 2025, Dallas Police arrested 21-year-old Matthew Saldana and booked him into the Dallas County jail on a murder charge; by November 19 he remained held without bond. Officials did not release information about any relationship between Saldana and Garcia or a suspected motive.

The case remains an active investigation and authorities have asked for additional witnesses. If anyone saw or heard anything on Alcorn Avenue that night, contact Detective R. Kramer with the Dallas Police Department.
