According to the criminal complaint, several witnesses said a fight broke out, and Sanchez Garzon was the shooter.

The victim’s uncle said a group of young men was hanging out and drinking on his driveway. An argument started and led to a physical fight and Sanchez Garzon shot Tapia Negrete and then ran away, the man told police.

Surveillance video showed Tapia Negrete in a chair and getting punched several times by one of the people Sanchez Garzon arrived to the gathering with. Sanchez Garzon is then seen punching several people, grabbing a gun from his cross-body bag and shooting around three rounds toward the victim, court documents state.

The video shows him then shooting another five rounds at Tapia Negrete, hitting him three times.

Sanchez Garzon’s girlfriend told police she had picked him up in Minneapolis and that he was crying and said he killed his cousin.
