A 3-year-old boy, Marco Javier Garza Jr., known to family as MJ, died from gunshot wounds on December 2, 2024, in Victoria, Texas. The shooting occurred about 11:30 a.m. at a residence in the 13,000 block of North Navarro Street inside a mobile home park. Officers found Marco with critical injuries and he was taken to a local hospital, where he later died.

Victoria Police Department detectives are investigating how the firearm was accessed and discharged and are working to determine whether the shooting was accidental or involved negligence. No arrests have been announced and authorities have not publicly identified any suspects. The community has rallied around the Garza family; an aunt, Vanessa Garza, set up a GoFundMe to help with funeral expenses and support the parents.

Does anyone in Victoria have information about that mobile home park or the morning of December 2 that could help investigators?
