Texas Man Drops Defamation Suit Against Fox News Over Misidentification

Mauricio Garcia continues legal battle against other media outlets after being wrongly linked to 2023 mass shooting.

Garcia, 36, was mistakenly identified as a neo-Nazi shooter by several media outlets.
Fox News successfully argued it never published Garcia's photo, leading to the lawsuit's dismissal.
Garcia's attorney admitted the claim against Fox News was unfounded and agreed to compensate the network.
The lawsuit continues against Newsmax, Univision, and other defendants.
Garcia seeks damages for the reputational harm and psychological distress caused by the false identification.
