On May 6, 2023, a mass shooting at the Allen Premium Outlets in Allen, Texas, killed eight people, including 3-year-old James Cho. James was at the mall with his parents, Kyu Song Cho, 37, and Cindy Cho, 35, and his 6-year-old brother, William, who survived after hospitalization and an ICU stay. The family had been visiting the mall to celebrate William’s recent sixth birthday.

Authorities say the shooter, 33-year-old Mauricio Garcia, fired multiple weapons and was fatally shot by an Allen Police Department officer who had been at the mall on an unrelated call. Investigators reported Garcia had legally obtained eight firearms and may have scouted the mall beforehand; no other suspects have been announced. The community has mourned the Cho family and rallied around William, including a GoFundMe set up to assist with his future needs.

If anyone has information about James, his family, or the events that day, please share what you know.
