Dallas PD Chief Eddie Garcia apologizes to family of boy fatally shot by Dallas officer in 1973 By FOX 4 Staff article DALLAS - Nearly 50 years after a child was killed at the hands of police, Dallas Police Chief Eddie Garcia apologized on behalf of the department. A memorial was held Saturday afternoon in honor of Santos Rodriguez, who was murdered at the age of 12. It was on July 24, 1973, when Santos and his brother, David, were picked up on suspicion of burglary. Santos was handcuffed in the back of a Dallas police car. Officer Darrell Cain held a revolver to the boy's head and pulled the trigger on an empty chamber. The boy still insisted he was innocent. The second trigger pull was a live round and was a fatal shot to the head.
