Police have arrested the man they suspect shot and killed a local mother. A murder charge has been filed against Gamaliel Hernandez Gonzalez, 29. He's accused of killing of Erica Ann Garcia, 26, at 1800 Milam last week. She suffered a gunshot wound to the head and was pronounced dead at the scene. The shooting happened after Garcia left a downtown nightclub and was followed by four suspects in a black Hummer. Garcia, reports indicate, stopped for a red light at the intersection of Milam and St. Joseph when two suspects exited the vehicle and Gonzalez walked up to Garcia’s vehicle and shot her from the passenger's side. That Hummer was later found at the Gulf Freeway and Airport Boulevard. Gonzalez was arrested while the three other males were detained, but later released after being interviewed by homicide investigators. Police say the suspects knew Garcia. 9 CommentsLeave a comment |
I hope the judge blow his wig back so far.He won't know what hit him.Lock him down for good.She did not deserve that at all.When I read about animals like him.It makes me sick to my stomach.I don't even know her.I just read about it surfing the news in different states.My prayers goes out to Erica A Garcia's family.Especially her kids
My heart goes out to Erica's boy's and her family! May God be with you all in this time of sadness. I met Erica once and she seemed like a great person. I hope the person(OR PEOPLE)who did this gets life in prison and they make him suffer like her kid's have to suffer without there mommy not being there for them and seeing them grow. It is really sad how someone could take the life of another person, especailly a 'mother'.
Another things that gets to me is how could the $tupid-@$$ cops not arrest the other men that were in the vehicle with the killer??? I think all the men should be charged MURDER! If they were at the crime scence, they had some part of the murder.
May Erica rest in peace and be with God!
I myself am a dancer downtown and when i hear about tragic events like this it makes me second guess my security at my job.... There are horrible people out in the world and Erica was a beautiful person... My heart and Prayers go out to Erica and her family...
I would like to see the death penalty for killing an unarmed person. Life in prison would be to good for the killer.
When I heard the news and heard this was a young single mother of two, I myself have two daughter her age and I just had to cry. I was scared this could have been one of my daughters. I myself a single mother of four grown children and one youngester. I cried so hard this for this young mom and her family. My sincere condolance go out to this heart broken family. I hope and prayer that these monsters pay for what they've done. Weren't you thinking of your own mother when you took a life of an innocent mom a parent from these children a daughter from a parent. Who do you think you were going to please doing such a horrible crime!
Erica, I pray that you are resting in peace and whoever keeps your children will alway inspite of what has happened will keep your memory alive for them.
God Bless all of you. My prayers are with each and everyone of you.
Wow,I am Erica's mother and I want to thank every one of you who made a comment about my beautiful daughter. I miss her so much and her children are too. The oldest asks for her every night and the youngest is not able to talk well yet but he is acting out and I know he misses her loving arms. She was about to attend the nursing program and had been going to school for awhile now. She wanted to be able to provide for her children and not depend on us (her parents). Erica and her children lived with us. I am now raising her children and the oldest is a special needs child. I am not complaining because I love my grandchildren but she should be here to raise them (they need her more than they do me). Can you beleive the rest were released? And even the other guy who also got out of his vehicle!! But you know what? I have incredible faith in God and I know he is angry about this and will handle this in his own time and own way..Amen! He takes care of his children! Only a mother knows the pain of losing her child and my only daughter as well! God Bless each and every one of you!
Erica was my cousin. I talk to her though email a couple a months back but I haven't seen her in years. I was going through pictures and found some of me and her that reminded me of past times that we had when we were younger. She is about 7yrs older so I only remember pieces cause I was so young but I mostly remember her long curly curly hair and beautiful smile. How could someone do this?? I HATE those cowards!! I may not talk or see my family often but we all love eachother unconditionally and losing Erica was very painful and still is. I pray for my Aunt Leticia, Uncle Bobby, erica's 2 sons, my cousin Bobby, and my cousin Carlos. I LOVE YA'LL AND ERICA YOU ARE ALWAYS IN MY HEART!!
I've known erica for a couple of years now. we used to go to a school called tegeler together, and eric was a small baby. she was a sweet caring, beautiful person who didn't deserve what happened to her. I can'tbelieve they let the other criminals out. that just angers me. they all deserve to sit in jail and rott for the rest of their pathetic lives! justice will come to them though. I pray for her family and especially her two beautiful boys. she will always be in my heart as well as any one else who knew her.
Erica was my cousin. I was fortunate enough to grow up with her and was blessed with the opportunity to live with her for several years. I saw her mature from a young teenager to a BEAUTIFUL woman. From the time she was a little girl I knew she would grow up to be a wonderful mother, and she did! As my Aunt Leticia mentioned, her oldest has special needs and though Erica often found herself struggling as a single parent, her love and determination to provide for her children never wavered. She knew the importance and value of education and taught her children the same. She loved her boys with everything she had and all that she did was for them!! Erica also had a heart of gold!!! There were many times I would question her choice of friends, but Erica somehow, some way was able to find GOOD in people when most couldn�t. She was always willing to give people the benefit of the doubt rather than immediately passing judgment like most of us do. She was an AMAZING woman, daughter, mother, sister and friend. We will all miss her greatly. I love you mama and I look forward to the day I�ll be with you once again!
For the PEOPLE responsible for her murder�God says, �Vengeance is mine.� Know that you can always run from Man, but also know that you can NEVER run from God!!
I pray for each of you�May God be with you.
