A 23-year-old male suspect has been arrested in connection with a homicide investigation in Hargill.

The Hidalgo County Sheriff's Office launched the investigation after a male was found with a gunshot wound on Thursday.

Sheriff's deputies and Texas Department of Public Safety troopers initially responded to a vehicle crash in the area of 5th and Gill streets at around 8:17 p.m.

According to a news release, authorities found 41-year-old David Adam Garza suffering from a gunshot wound and without a pulse.

Investigators determined that Garza had been involved in an altercation at a location a few blocks away from the crash site, according to the news release.

Investigators were told as Garza left a location at the 600 block of Couch Street in a white Tundra truck, a suspect fired multiple shots towards the vehicle, striking Garza.

Garza continued driving north on Gill Street, where he was involved in a minor collision with another vehicle before ultimately striking a tree, according to the news release.

The news release said witnesses told investigators they removed Garza from the vehicle and attempted life-saving measures before medical personnel arrived. Garza died at the scene.
