Edinburg, TX (KRGV) — The Edinburg Police Department is inviting the community to join a prayer gathering Monday at 6 p.m. for officer Salvador Garcia as he recovers from a shooting.

The department said the gathering will be in front of the Edinburg Police Department, 1702 South Closner Boulevard, on Nov. 16 beginning at 6 p.m.

A city of Edinburg spokesperson said Garcia was moved out of the ICU and is now in stable condition and great spirits.

As previously reported, Garcia was responding to a report of a disturbance at a home in the 200 block of Fig Drive on Thursday, Oct. 29.

As Garcia approached the home, 25-year-old Daby Tadeo Ledezma allegedly opened fire and struck the officer numerous times.

Ledezma was later found dead with what appeared to be a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head.
