An 18-year-old Texas State University student, John Gabriel Mendoza Jr., was fatally shot by a Brazoria County sheriff’s deputy in the early hours of June 1, 2026, in Lake Jackson, Texas. According to authorities, deputies attempted a traffic stop, but Mendoza drove away and was followed to his fathers home. The encounter ended in the familys garage, where a deputy fired a shot that struck Mendoza. He was transported to a hospital and later died. Mendoza had just completed his freshman year at Texas State, where he studied management and had reportedly made the dean’s list. The deputy has been placed on administrative leave while the incident is investigated by the Texas Rangers and the Brazoria County District Attorneys Office. The case has drawn significant public attention, with family members and protesters calling for the release of body-camera footage and a full accounting of the circumstances surrounding the shooting.
