Opened in September 2000, Allen Premium Outlets is a large outdoor mall owned by Simon Property Group. The shooting occurred eight days after five people had been killed in a mass shooting in Cleveland, Texas, leading to increased scrutiny of gun laws in Texas. Garcia posted hateful comments against women and Jews in the leadup to the massacre. His body was tattooed with fascist symbols including SS lightning bolts and a large swastika. The shooter, 33 year old neo-Nazi Mauricio Martinez Garcia, wore a black tactical vest embroidered with a patch reading "RWDS" ("Right Wing Death Squad"). The perpetrator was shot by a police officer already in the area on an unrelated call. Nine people, including the perpetrator, were killed during the massacre, the youngest of whom was a three-year-old boy. On May 6, 2023, a mass shooting occurred at Allen Premium Outlets, an outlet center in Allen, Texas, United States.
