TCC student Maddox Moses Garza was shot in the torso March 27 in his parked car in front of an apartment complex, according to a Tarrant County medical examiner report.
He was pronounced dead after being transferred to a hospital.
According to the report filed by Fort Worth police, two suspects were arrested. One of them, 19-year-old Milton Tobias Wilson, was arrested on April 15 at 2 p.m. The second suspect’s identity has not been released, but was arrested on the same day at 10:45 a.m.
Wilson is charged with capital murder and awaits another court appearance on April 25 at 9 a.m. His bond is $500,000 and a defense attorney has not yet been identified.
No motive has been identified according to Fort Worth police detective Jerry Cedillo, who said he could not provide more information as the case is still under investigation.
Garza attended TR Campus pursuing an associate degree in business and was set to graduate this summer, according to an obituary provided by Greenwood Funeral Homes.
It described Garza as kind and loyal to his family, and he was said to have an interest in automotives and worked as a mechanic.
“He was a sweet, caring soul who was always there for his parents, grandparents and any family member that needed him,” the obituary said.
A guest book included in the obituary allowed others to leave words of kindness about Garza.
Andrew Schnitzius, a mathematics teacher who taught Garza at R.L. Paschal High School, left a message in the guest book remembering him as a bright light among his peers.
“I know he made a difference sharing joy with the people around him. I am thankful to have known him for a short time and am praying for comfort for his family,” Schnitzius wrote.
Camila Cisneros, neighbor and childhood friend of Garza, recalls all the times they played together as children.
“He was a kind and gentle soul who was taken from us too soon, I will forever miss my best friend and cherish the times we spent playing together,” Cisneros wrote.
