Eric Michael Garcia was 32 when he was found dead inside a vehicle from an apparent gunshot wound in the early morning of Sunday, July 23, 2023. Officers discovered him at about 2:11 a.m. on the 3900 block of Garfield Avenue in Edinburg, Texas.

Investigators identified two suspects. Edgar Ivan Gonzalez, 44 and a resident of Reynosa, Tamaulipas, was arrested in McAllen on August 2, 2023, arraigned in Edinburg Municipal Court and charged with one count of first-degree murder; bond was set at $1,000,000. Juan Miguel Herrera Gomez, originally reported as 38, later 41, had his 2021 white Chevrolet Silverado recovered by police when a warrant was served at his McAllen home; he remained at large for nearly a year and was later indicted for murder and held in Mexico awaiting extradition.

Eric was born March 15, 1991, in McAllen, Texas, to George Enrique Vargas and María García and is mourned by his family. Does anyone have information about Eric or the events that night?
