So would you say Detriot and College Station are equally safe?
the same kind of crime, the same kind of people are present in both places. The point is you are personally responsible for your own safety and you can't assume you're safe because you think you are some where you arbitrarily deem as "safe."
I'm glad the clerk has been found.
keven is a hardworking, tough man, but he needs to take the day shift.

Not sure but it appears to be tied to a scene out in the county off OSR involving a pretty massive man hunt.
Pure speculation: Robbery last night (hopefully not involving a shooting but the massive response seems to indicate this) then pursuit out to OSR with suspect ditching vehicle and taking off on foot. Sounds like dogs and helicopters getting involved.
I don't know. They were gearing up for a big foot search and moved over to a tactical channel. Never heard another peep. May have been unrelated.
hopefully the station owner carries workers comp
The details of what happened are heartbreaking - I hope he will be ok and I hope this SOB goes to jail for a long long time.

Dadgum. That is horrific. And beaten with brass knuckles last time? That guy needs to be able to retire.
Let's see if we can help that along.
I'll donate

Apparently he drove to his step brothers house, or something...I honestly have no idea what his motive was...

HASLET Fort Worth police found and rescued a man who had been kidnapped from a College Station convenience store in the early hours of Tuesday.
Police and Texas Rangers apprehended a suspect identified as 36-year-old Nathaniel Tillery outside a residence in the 14200 block of Tijuana Trail in Haslet just before 1:30 p.m. Tuesday.

The victim, 55-year-old Kevin Garcia, was found in the bed of his stolen pickup truck. Neighbors on Tijuana Trail said he appeared to be bloodied and battered, and "didn't look good at all."
Garcia, a clerk at the College Station convenience store, was taken to a local hospital for his injuries. Medstar confirmed he was taken to JPS in Fort Worth.
The incident played out in front of the home of Tillery's stepbrother, and he was the one who called 911 after seeing the pickup truck.
The man wouldn't give his name but said he wasn't close with Tillery, and that he didn't believe Tillery knew Garcia.
"I don't think so, no," he said.
College Station police detectives were on their way to Tarrant County to interview the suspect.

I've emailed KBTX to see if they have his info, but if the KBTX posters here see this, your assistance is appreciated. Or if anyone knows how to get in contact with Drew Congleton, that'd be great as well.

Contact wtaw and kbtx with the info on the account as soon as you can get it verified and linked to him so they'll know it's 100% and be safe to report.
That way they can comment on it when reporting about it.

We're aware and so is KBTX. Frankly, any local media is (which is why we support localism so much).
We really appreciate you taking the time to set this up. It's tough to know what he needs at this point, but it's always important that he and any of his family know this community won't stand for this treatment of our neighbors.

I found an email address for the owner of Gateway Express and asked him to put me in contact with Kevin, as well.
Very sad to hear, I visit with Kevin often in the mornings.
Unfortunate to say this on a sad note, but I love this Community for how it pulls together for one another.
Hoping for a speedy recovery!

Contributed, thanks for setting that up!
If you can increase, please do. AT least 20,000 would be substantial. He might not even know that he is in a hospital.

Get well Kevin! We are praying for you!
He's always super nice. Praying for a quick recovery!
Donated. Thanks for setting this up. Kevin is a great guy, and I always enjoyed his sarcasm and humor.
encouraging everyone to give at least $5
imagine making $8 or $9 an hour, then being out of work for X days or X weeks
this guy needs help
glad to be a part of the random act of kindness for our neighbor

Up to $1885 already. I just moved to Dallas, but I lived a street away from Gateway the past 3 years and saw Kevin a lot. Great guy who does not deserve to go through this alone. It's awesome the way BCS takes care of its own.
Gas station owners and convenience store owners:
This is one of YOUR employees. Please unite and support this guy.
I will be sure to shop at places that donate and will be checking the go fund site to see who donates.
I wonder if two people per shift is the safest way to staff.

Bump for donations.
I know most stores in Houston do that.

Bump for donations, poor guy
There will be a story on KAGS tonight to help spread the word on his fundraiser. Thank you Chris for doing the interview!!
I've known Kevin for a long time. He's such a good man. He really doesn't have any money, so anything this fund raises will help him tremendously. Please pray hard for him. His prognosis is not good. He was beaten severely and then bounced around in the bed of a pickup for hours. He's still unresponsive.
His Facebook page is public and always has been, as far as I know. His sister is updating there.
