His father, who drove him to the fatal shooting, has also been charged with murder. \n
“Charged with killing three people,” Lt. Pedro Barineau of the Garland Police Department told The Daily Beast. “You got a suspected father who drove him to the scene and drove him away.”
Video recovered by the police shows the father park the truck, stride into the store with his face uncovered. He returned to the truck with what his attorney would later say was medicine for his pregnant wife. When police responded, they found one teen dead by the drink machines, another dead in an eating area and a third dead in the hallway leading to the restrooms. Two of them, 16-year-old Rafael Garcia and 17-year-old Ivan Noyla, knew each other and police believe that at least one of them was an intended target. The third, 14-year-old Xavier Gonzalez, had gone there to pick up food for his family and seems simply to have been at the wrong place at the wrong time.
One of the sisters forwarded a photo to Shupe of Rafael pointing a pistol equipped with a green laser. She also sent a photo of another teen, this one in a black face mask, holding a black and silver pistol with an extended magazine. “I believe that Richard Acosta was involved in the capital murder of three victims,” the affadavit says.The father's attorney, Heath Harris, insists that his client was unaware the son was armed. Harris says the father swung back around to the store after making his purchase because the son wanted to buy some Halls lozenges for a sore throat.
“Because his wife is pregnant and he was worried about getting his wife upset,” Harris told The Daily Beast.“[The son] subsequently just left and he doesn't know where he went,” Harris said.
