On the evening of October 7, 2015, George Garcia Thacker, an 18-year-old from Pasco, Washington, was found shot to death near the cable bridge, a few feet from the Chevrolet Cobalt he had been driving. He had recently started a job at a food processing plant and was described by family as trying to turn his life around. His cell phone and car key were missing from the scene, and police found heavy blood spatter in the vehicle along with spent and unspent 9mm pistol rounds. Investigators noted the gun used may have belonged to Garcia Thacker, who was known to have carried one in the past.

A witness said Garcia Thacker got into the car around 6:30 p.m. near Seventh Avenue and B Street after receiving a call or message; two brothers, 23-year-old Nathan Quintero and 17-year-old Jaden Quintero, were seen entering the car with him and later fled. The brothers were arrested about two weeks later in Walla Walla and charged with first-degree murder. Nathan Quintero pleaded guilty to a reduced charge of first-degree manslaughter and received 16 years and two months; Jaden Quintero admitted to first-degree rendering criminal assistance, served 21 months in county jail, and was released. The murder weapon was never recovered and the prosecutor described the case as circumstantial.

Does anyone have information about George’s movements that evening or about the two brothers’ interactions with him before he left?
