"A 36-year-old Dallas man had the bad luck to share the same name, Mauricio Garcia, as the mass shooter who killed eight people and wounded seven at an outlet mall in Allen, Texas on May 6, 2023, and is now suing multiple media outlets whom he says falsely identified him as the shooter, causing “damage his reputation and image” and “a severe degree of mental stress, anguish, fear, personal embarrassment, and psychological harm which has disrupted his daily affairs.”

The Mauricio Martinez Garcia who was the actual gunman was 33 years old and was shot dead by police officers who responded to the scene. News reports in the aftermath of the shooting described him as armed with an AR-15 and wearing a tactical vest with a “RWDS” patch on it, an acronym for “Right Wing Death Squad,” a phrase popular among white supremacists, multiple Nazi tattoos, as well as social media posts that indicated neo-Nazi beliefs and other racially- and ethnically-focused violent rhetoric."
