On the Dallas block where Garcia lived at a family home until recently, neighbors said they thought he worked as a security guard but they weren’t sure where. Other posts indicated Garcia had researched when the Allen Premium Outlets in Allen, one of the Dallas-area’s most diverse suburbs, would be the busiest - Saturday afternoons, the time he carried out the massacre, which ended when police shot and killed him. Photos he posted showed large Nazi tattoos on his arm and torso, including a swastika and the SS lightning bolt logo of Hitler’s paramilitary forces. Garcia’s online activity also betrayed a fascination with white supremacy and mass shootings, which he described as sport. Among the dead were two elementary school-age sisters, a couple and their 3-year-old son, and a security guard.
