Mauricio Garcia, the suspect in a deadly mall shooting in Allen, Texas, that left eight dead and several others injured Saturday has yet to be officially identified by police, a Texas law enforcement source tells Fox News Digital.
Garcia, 33, is from Dallas, Texas, according to records obtained by Fox News Digital. The suspect’s age, address, and vehicle matches the description of details law enforcement provided. The address, as of March, is approximately 30 miles south of the shooting at Allen Premium Outlets in Dallas. It appears to be associated with a hotel.
An email account called "deathdestructionandlove" was listed in association with Garcia in records obtained by Fox News Digital.
His brother, Christian Garcia, whose address is listed as that of Mauricio’s per records obtained, has several criminal records, including burglary of habitation and public intoxication.

Multiple FBI agents reported to a home in the Northeast Patrol division of Dallas, with several Dallas Police officers standing outside, according to KHOU. Multiple sources told the outlet the home is where the suspected 30-something-year-old shooter lives with his parents.
The agents were reportedly speaking with family inside the home, according to KHOU. A translator was reportedly requested by the family.
FBI agents also joined police Sunday morning to search the suspect's home, where neighbors said he has been living for years.
Neighbors also told WFAA that he could often be seen going to and from the house in an outfit that suggested a security role. Despite the regular sightings, neighbors added that both the man and his gray Dodge Charger had frequently been missing in recent weeks.
Neighbors also told KHOU they didn't recall any sort of police activity or problems at the house. They noted he was very quiet but did notice certain unusual and quiet behaviors.
