Lubbock man, who was put on probation on fatal, unintentional shootout

A 22-year-old man who admitted to a ruthless shootout in which his friend was killed more than two years ago was brought to probation for 10 years after he was guilty on Thursday.

Adrian Garcia, who was in Bond, appeared in court with his lawyer Kris Espino and owed himself to counting the death of 17-year-old Dylan Montes on October 8, 2022 in October 8, 2022.

The indictment is a second degree crime that punishes a penalty of two to 20 years in prison. As part of his agreement with the Lubbock County public prosecutor, Garcia will be on the supervision of the community for 10 years and will have up to 10 years in prison if his probation is revoked.

His plea deal also includes a time of 30 days from the so-called shock prison period, which he will serve at the weekend.

Garcia's indictment results from an investigation by the Lubbock Metropolitan Special Crimes Unit, which began when the Lubbock police reacted to a 4 o'clock shots on October 8 in a house in a house of 2300 block of the 143rd Street.

Montes found the responding officials in the front yard of the house and suffered serious injuries from a gunshot wound. He was taken by the ambulance to the University Medical Center, where he died.

A police report says that Montes and Garcia, who were friends, were in a shed behind the house. At some point Garcia took out a firearm, fired it and the released round met Montes.

The report opened no motive for the shootout.

An answering officer was addressed to the scales, where he found a loaded magazine on the floor next to a bed, an output shell case on the bed and several live rounds next to the bed and on a computer table. The officer also found marijuana and drug utensils on site, as can be seen in an affidavit.

In January 2023, a Grand jury County County gave back an indictment against Garcia for manslaughter. A week later, the Lubbock police issued a public application for Garcia's whereabouts. About six hours later, he revealed the Lubbock County Detention Center.

Prosecutor Greg Jerman said, while the shootout was unintentional, showed the evidence that Garcia in Montes called a semi-automatic pistol in Montes and thought that she had been unloaded.

He said Garcia's actions were more ruthless than negligent when he directed the weapon on Montes, to be in a duel and pulled the deduction. There were also indications that Garcia was under the influence of alcohol and marijuana.

“It was definitely avoidable and shouldn't have happened,” said Jerman. “The facts of the case, the egary of the actions of the accused and how dangerous they led to a manslaughter.”

Garcia's lawyer, Kris Espino, said his customer has had to struggle with guilt since shooting.

“I promise that Adrian Mental – the fault, the grief, the loss of his best friend – has been punished since the day since this terrible accident happened,” he said. “I say the word accident, but the fact is – at least as far as the law concerns – there are no accidents when it comes to weapons.
