Abel Elias Acosta is wanted in Dallas County, facing charges including capital murder of multiple persons, in connection with the deadly shooting of three teenagers in Garland. The crime occurred the day after Christmas, 2021. Garland Police were called to a convenience store for reports of multi ple gunshot victims. Three victims, 17-year-old Rafael Garcia, 16-year-old Ivan Noyola, and 14-year-old Xavier Gonzalez, were found dead by police. A fourth victim was hospitalized with life-threatening injuries. Acosta, who was 14 years old at the time, was identified as the alleged shooter. Surveillance video shows a man getting out of a pickup truck and starting to shoot. Seconds later, the shooter ran outside and got back in the truck. Acosta’s father, Richard Acosta, was later indicted and convicted for capital murder for his role in driving the truck. A warrant for capital murder was issued for Abel Acosta in 2021, and a federal warrant was issued for an unlawful flight to avoid prosecution charge, but he has not been taken into custody. According to a press release, Investigators say they believe Acosta fled to Mexico and remains there. Law enforcement is offering a reward of up to $50,000 for information that leads to his arrest and conviction.
