Investigation into Fatal Shooting at 1900 Yale Street

The fatal shooting of one man and the wounding of another at 1900 Yale Street about 4:25 p.m. on Saturday (March 15) will be referred to a Harris County grand jury.
The deceased male is identified as Carlos Garcia, 27.
The other male, 41, was transported to an area hospital to be treated for a gunshot wound.
HPD Homicide Division Detectives L. Patterson, J. Meister-Wile and N. Henderson reported:
HPD patrol officers responded to a shooting call at an abandoned business at the above address.  According to witnesses, a male and a family member were installing posters on the business when a truck pulled up.  Two males (one of them Mr. Garcia) exited the truck, stating they also wanted to install posters on the business.  The two groups got into an argument. Garcia then reached into a bag he was carrying and racked a weapon.  At that time, the other male and family member retrieved their work equipment and walked back to their vehicle.
As they walked away, Garcia threatened he would shoot one of them.  The other male and Garcia then exchanged gunfire and both were struck.  The men were transported to an area hospital where one of them (Garcia) was pronounced deceased.  The other male remains hospitalized.
The Harris County District Attorney’s Office was contacted and it was determined the case would be reviewed by a grand jury.
Anyone with additional information in this case is urged to contact the HPD Homicide Division at 713-308-3600.
