A visitor to Bolm District Park in East Austin found a truck tucked into a wooded area near an embankment on the evening of July 8, 2026. Inside that vehicle was 26-year-old Minor Garcia, a Hispanic man, who was pronounced dead at the scene at 6:24 p.m. after being discovered following a 5:42 p.m. call to police.

Authorities determined Garcia died of a gunshot wound. The investigation was initially described inconsistently by the Austin Police Department before being confirmed as a homicide the following day. Investigators say one or more suspects shot Garcia and left him inside the truck; no suspects have been publicly identified and no arrests have been announced. A reward of up to $1,000 is available and officials are asking anyone who was in the Bolm District Park area that evening to submit photos, video, or tips to the Homicide Unit.

Did anyone see activity at the park near the embankment on the evening of July 8 that could help investigators?
