After the shooting, at the store in the 11600 block of Forest Central Drive, police say Juarez took off in a white-colored work truck. It was then police put out a description of the truck — that had “GX4” on the back fender, a ladder rack, and large exhaust pipes rising from the front — and issued a be on the lookout (BOLO) alert.
Immediately after the shooting police, with guns drawn, were seen at the back of the Home Depot as employees appeared to be rushing out of the back of the store and away from the area.
A massive search from police helicopters the air and on the ground followed after witnesses reported the shooter fled on foot and may be hiding in a nearby creek. But when police reviewed security camera video they discovered the suspect took off in the pickup truck. Inside the store, employees and customers either froze in panic or fled in fear from the brutal violence that played out in front of them.
The store was evacuated and workers were sent home for the day. Prior to the shooting, Juarez, 29, had an outstanding warrant for felony theft when police approached him at the Home Depot.
