When a Vehicle Chase Kills a Teenager in Midland — Your Family’s Rights in the Civil Justice System If you are reading this at two in the morning, staring at a screen because sleep will not come and the kitchen table is covered in paperwork that should not exist — a funeral home estimate, a police case number no one will explain, a phone full of messages from people who mean well and say nothing — you are in the right place. We are not going to give you false comfort. We are going to tell you the truth about what the law allows, what the other side is already doing, and what your family can still do to hold someone accountable for the death of a child killed in a vehicle chase in Midland. A family in Midland has publicly demanded that the person responsible for a teenager’s death in a vehicle chase face full accountability. The words “he doesn’t deserve to walk out” carry the weight of a family that has lost something no family should lose, and that wants to know whether the legal system will treat that loss with the seriousness it deserves. That question has two answers, because there are two justice systems running at the same time — and the one most families do not know about is the one that may matter most. The criminal system decides whether the person who caused the chase goes to prison. The civil system — the wrongful…

12-Year-Old Anderson Aguilar Dies From High-Speed Pursuit Crash Injuries on Midland’s Loop 250: Wrongful Death and Survival Claims Under Texas Law When a Pursuing Driver’s Reckless Chase Kills a Child and an 18-Year-Old, Leaves Three More Fighting for Their Lives — Attorney911 Brings 27+ Years of Federal-Court Trial Practice, We Move to Preserve the 911 Recordings, Dispatch Logs and Black-Box Data Before the Overwrite Cycle Erases Them, Lupe Peña the Former Insurance-Defense Insider Who Knows How the Claims Machine Values and Denies Fatal-Crash Cases, Survival Damages for Anderson’s Nine-Day Hospitalization, Millions Recovered in Wrongful-Death Cases — Free 24/7 Consultation, No Fee Unless We Win, Hablamos Español, 1-888-ATTY-911

Midland Family’s Loss: 12-Year-Old Anderson Aguilar’s Wrongful Death After a Loop 250 High-Speed Pursuit Crash You are reading this at a hour when nobody should have to read anything. A twelve-year-old boy who loved Bruno Mars, who slept with a Superman teddy bear, who was just starting out in the sport of boxing his father once dreamed of — fought for nine days in a hospital bed and did not come home. The phone call that told you he was gone is the call that split your life in half. Everything before it is one life. Everything after it is another. We are writing to you in the after, and we are writing to you in the language of the fight — because the fight is what stands between your family and the people who owe you answers. Here is the first thing you need to hear, and we will say it plainly: Texas law does not let what happened to your son disappear into a criminal file. A man facing murder charges for pursuing a truck full of people at highway speeds until it crashed is a defendant in your civil case too — and the civil case is yours, not the prosecutor’s. The criminal prosecution and your family’s wrongful death claim run on parallel tracks. They do not wait for each other. And in many ways, the criminal case makes your civil case stronger, not weaker. We are Attorney911 — The Manginello Law Firm. We handle wrongful death…

Midland, Texas Shooting: Your Legal Rights After One Life Lost and Nine Injured Along the Commercial Corridor If you found this page, you or someone you love was caught in what happened in Midland on Friday — the gunfire that erupted along the busy commercial strip west of downtown, the sound of at least forty shots, the armored vehicle pulling up to the veterinary clinic, the hours-long standoff that ended only when robot and drone footage confirmed the shooter was dead. You may be sitting in a hospital room at Midland Memorial where four people went to surgery. You may be at a kitchen table where one chair will never be filled again. You may be one of the five who were treated and released and are now hearing sounds that are not there, seeing the parking lot in your sleep. We are writing this for you — the person at 2 a.m. searching for what comes next, what the law allows, what the businesses along that corridor may owe, and what is already disappearing while you read. Here is the first thing you need to hear: the shooter’s death does not close every door. Texas law offers paths to accountability beyond the person who pulled the trigger — specifically through the businesses and property owners along that corridor who may share responsibility if they failed to implement reasonable security measures against a danger that was, in this city, foreseeable. And here is the second: the single most time-sensitive priority…

Midland, Texas Shooting: Your Legal Rights After the West Wall Street Tragedy If you are reading this at 2 a.m. from a hallway outside a surgical suite at Midland Memorial Hospital, or from a kitchen table where a chair is now empty, or from a phone with a bullet hole still in the screen — we are talking to you. Not to a courtroom. Not to a search engine. To you, the person whose world broke apart on the morning of June 12, 2026, on West Wall Street, and who is now trying to figure out what comes next while the news trucks are still parked along Business 20. Here is the first thing you need to hear, and it is not a sales pitch: the man who pulled the trigger is dead. That does not mean no one answers for what happened. In Texas, when a mass shooting happens inside or around a building that should have been secured, the law looks beyond the shooter — to the property owner who left a vacant structure accessible, to the entities that controlled or managed the premises, and to every insurance policy standing behind them. The suspect’s estate may have little or nothing. The property owner’s responsibility is a separate question entirely, and it is the question that decides whether your family is made whole or left to carry this alone. We are Attorney911 — The Manginello Law Firm, PLLC. We take Texas cases. Ralph Manginello has spent 27-plus years in…

Midland, Texas Mass Shooting — June 12, 2026: Legal Rights of Victims and Families If you are reading this page, you or someone you love was in the corridor around West Wall Street, Industrial Avenue, and Eisenhower Street in Midland on the morning of June 12, 2026. You may have been shot. You may have been running beside someone who was. You may be the family of Ed Scott — a husband, a father, a City of Midland colleague who did not come home. You are in the hardest hours of your life, and the system around you is already moving in ways you cannot see. We are going to tell you what we know — about what happened, about what the law allows, about what is already disappearing from the evidence, and about what your family can do. Nothing here is a sales pitch. This is the education we would give you if you were sitting across from us right now, because the choices made in the first days after a mass shooting decide almost everything about what happens next.

Midland, Texas Mass Shooting — Legal Rights of Victims and Families When Security Fails If you are reading this page, you or someone you love was at the wrong place at the worst time. One person is dead. Ten more are injured — some may still be in the hospital, some may be home wondering why the headaches will not stop, some may be unable to close their eyes without seeing it again. Midland Mayor Lori Blong confirmed the toll: at least one fatality, ten injuries, a Friday that shattered eleven lives and the families behind them. You are probably sitting in a hospital waiting room, a kitchen, or a parking lot. The news is still breaking. The police are still investigating. And somewhere, a surveillance camera is already recording over the footage of what happened. We are Attorney911 — The Manginello Law Firm, PLLC. We are trial lawyers who take Texas cases, and this page exists because you typed a search at the worst moment of your life and landed here. Everything that follows is written to give you the truth about your rights, the evidence that is disappearing right now, and what happens next. No sales pitch. No promises about your specific case.

Midland, Texas Mass Shooting on West Wall Street: What Victims and Families Need to Know Right Now If you are reading this, someone you love was on the 4600 block of West Wall Street in Midland on a Friday morning when gunfire erupted — or you were there yourself. You may be sitting in a hospital room. You may be planning a funeral. You may be reliving the sound of those shots every time you close your eyes. Whatever brought you here at this hour, we want you to know two things before anything else: the death of the shooter does not end the search for accountability, and the evidence that could prove a property owner’s failure to protect the people on that block is already beginning to disappear. We are Attorney911 — The Manginello Law Firm. We are Texas-licensed trial lawyers who handle catastrophic injury and wrongful death cases. We have built this page so that every family affected by the Midland shooting can understand, in plain language, what Texas law allows them to do, what evidence needs to be preserved before it is gone, and how a case like this is actually built.

Call us at 1-888-ATTY-911 any hour, day or night. The consultation is free. We do not get paid unless…

Midland Mass Shooting: Your Legal Rights When the Shooter Is Dead The mayor has confirmed what you already knew: the person who took your loved one is dead. That fact will be offered to you as closure. It is not closure. It is the elimination of the one path the system was going to take for you — the criminal case that would have played out in a courthouse you never chose, on a timeline you never controlled, for a result that was never going to bring anyone back. What it leaves is the other path, the one that was always yours to take: the civil case that asks a different question entirely. Not what punishment fits the shooter, but what the property owner knew, what they failed to do, and whether the deaths on that property were the foreseeable result of decisions made by someone who invited people onto that land and then did not protect them. We are Attorney911 — The Manginello Law Firm. We handle wrongful death and catastrophic injury cases in Texas, including negligent-security claims arising from mass-casualty events. Ralph Manginello has spent 27 years in courtrooms, including federal court. Lupe Peña spent years inside a national insurance-defense firm — the rooms where adjusters and their software decided how to deny, delay, and devalue people exactly like you — and now sits on your side of the table. We are writing this page for one person: you, reading at 2 a.m., trying to understand what happens…

Midland, Texas Shooting: Your Legal Rights After Eleven People Were Shot If you are reading this, someone you love was in the path of a gunman in Midland this morning. You may be sitting in the family unification center at Midland Memorial Hospital right now, waiting for a surgeon to come through the doors and tell you whether your husband, your wife, your child, your parent is going to survive. You may be at your kitchen table at two in the morning, unable to close your eyes, trying to understand what just happened to your family and your town. Either way, you are in the right place — not because we can undo what happened on those streets, but because what you do in the next few days will shape whether the people responsible for the conditions that allowed this violence are ever held to account. Eleven people were shot in Midland, Texas, on the morning of June 12, 2026. One person did not survive. Nine victims were taken to Midland Memorial Hospital — four were in surgery when the first reports went public, and five were listed in stable condition. First responders were dispatched around 8 a.m. to a shooting in southeast Midland. The suspected shooter was trailed through parts of south Midland before a SWAT standoff erupted at the 4600 block of West Wall Street in southwest Midland. Authorities declared the incident resolved shortly before noon and confirmed the suspected shooter was dead. Mayor Lori Blong declined to…

Midland, Texas Wall Street Shooting — Legal Rights of Victims and Families If you are reading this from a hospital room at Midland Memorial, or from a chair in the chapel where families gathered to wait for news, or from a kitchen table in Midland at 2 a.m. with a bandage on a wound that still has no answers — you are in the right place. Nine people were hospitalized after a gunman opened fire near 4600 W. Wall Street on June 12, 2026. Some were in surgery. Some were discharged. Some may still be fighting. The shooter is dead. The road is closed. And while you are focusing on surviving, the evidence that could determine whether you can recover for what happened to you is already on a clock — a short one. We are Attorney911 — The Manginello Law Firm, PLLC. We are a trial firm that takes Texas cases, and we are writing this page for one person: you, the victim or the family member, in the worst hours of your life. This is not a news summary.
