Mauricio Garcia , a 36-year-old Dallas County resident, was not the Allen shooter. You might not have known that if you're a fan of right-wing media.at the Allen Premium Outlets, a lawsuit has emerged seeking damages for a man whose photograph was incorrectly plastered across certain news channels as the man responsible for the killings.
With help from his attorneys, Mauricio Garcia filed a lawsuit against several media personalities and agencies for misidentifying him as theshooter. The suit alleges he was defamed by the publications and personalities. He's seeking $1 million in damages through the suit. The shooter committed the massacre while wearing a tactical vest embroidered with the acronym “RWDS,” which stands for Right Wing Death Squad. No details about the shooter were released on the day of the murders, but several media agencies and personalities tried to identify the suspect the following day using his name and date of birth.
Then Shroyer, host of “War Room” on Alex Jones’ conspiracy theory site infowars.com, broadcast an image of Mauricio Garcia, alleging he was the shooter. Shroyer never published a retraction, according to the suit. Right-wing media personality Tim Pool’s Timcast Media Group, Inc. repeatedly published photos of Bankston and Adler’s client, portraying him as the shooter. The thumbnail for Pool’s daily show on Youtube included a photo of Mauricio Garcia instead of the actual shooter.
