Christian LaCour, 20, was killed on May 6, 2023 while working as a security guard at the Allen Premium Outlets mall in Allen, Texas. He was on duty protecting shoppers and employees when a gunman, identified as 33-year-old Mauricio Garcia, opened fire with a semi-automatic rifle while wearing tactical gear. Multiple people were killed or wounded in the attack; Garcia was shot and killed by a police officer who had been responding to an unrelated call.

Investigators reported Garcia had been discharged from the U.S. Army in 2008 for mental health reasons and that his social media activity and writings suggested possible extremist beliefs, including white supremacist ideology. He had no significant criminal record before the shooting, and authorities had not determined a definitive motive.

LaCour’s family, friends, and the community held vigils and memorials remembering him as dedicated and courageous. If anyone knew LaCour or has information relevant to this case, please share what you can.
