HPD Homicide Division Sergeant A. Dudley and Detective A. Hernandez reported:
Officers were dispatched to an assault in-progress call outside a residence at the above address and found the victim lying on the driveway. It appeared he had suffered a gunshot wound and responding Houston Fire Department paramedics pronounced the male, later identified as Mr. Richardson, deceased.
At that time, there was no known suspect description or motive in the shooting. Surveillance photos of a vehicle, believed to be a gray Chevrolet Impala or similar model fleeing the scene, were released to the public on July 26.
Further investigation identified Garcia as the suspect in this case. Garcia was arrested on Saturday (August 31) by the HPD Southwest Patrol Division Crime Suppression Team following a family disturbance at another location.
