A late summer visit between childhood friends ended with a fatal shooting in North Bend, Washington. Albert Trinidad Garza, 42, was at Robert C. Navarro’s apartment on August 25, 2015, after they had spent part of the evening at a tavern. Around 10:30 p.m. Navarro reportedly showed Garza his new Springfield Armory 9mm pistol and, while checking the gun, it discharged.

Investigators later determined Navarro knew the pistol had a defect and had been the subject of a manufacturer recall, and that he handled the loaded weapon despite that knowledge. Testing of the firearm showed it would not fire without the trigger being pulled. Navarro, then 50, was charged with second-degree manslaughter. Garza, a Burlington resident, was a father of three and a former state champion wrestler remembered for his kindness and sense of humor.
