Erick Garcia
Age 15
Cloverleaf, Texas
It was an accident with friends
It was an old-looking motel, with a dilapidated picket fence surrounding the unkempt concrete parking lot. However worn it seemed, behind it was a wing of the motel that seemed even more tired.
A dumpster was shoved against the pale pink brick; mattresses leaned against the chipped, white fence and lay scattered across the dusty grass. In the far corner of the lot, a solitary building stood.
On the evening of December 15, 2018, in the Cloverleaf community of east Harris County, Texas, in that solitary building behind the old-looking motel, Erick Garcia, 15, accidentally shot and killed himself while playing with a gun with his friends.
