33-year-old Mauricio Martinez Garcia, who is the suspect in the mass shooting of 8 people at a mall in Dallas on Saturday, left a bizarre voice message on his phone addressing the phone company, women, and making jokes before he went on a rampage and was killed by police.
“Hi, this is Mauricio. If you’re the phone company, I already sent the money. If you’re my parents, please send money,” the message begins.
He continues: “If you’re my financial aid institution, you didn’t lend me enough money. If you are my friend, you owe me money.”
From Fox News:
To the ladies, the suspect – who recently still lived with his parents – assures them: “don’t worry, I have plenty of money.”
Authorities identified Garcia as suspected of killing eight people at Allen Premium Outlets, a Texas outlet mall. The gunman was fatally shot by a police officer who happened to be near the suburban Dallas mall.
One of the officials said investigators have been searching the motel where Garcia had stayed nearby, and two of the officials said investigators searched a home in the Dallas area connected to the suspect. The official said police also found multiple weapons at the scene after Garcia was killed, including an AR-15-style rifle and a handgun.
Authorities released few details in the aftermath of the assault. They offered no information about those who were killed, including their names.
Garcia was kicked out of the US Army in 2008 “due to mental health concerns,” law enforcement sources briefed on the investigation told ABC News.
