State of Texas v. Dimitros Pagourtzis

Richmond, Texas criminal defense lawyer represented the Defendant charged with multiple counts of capital murder.



On March 2, 2018, Dimitrios Pagourtzis logged on to LuckyGunner.com and purchased 50 rounds of .38 Special ammunition and 105 rounds of 12-gauge shotgun ammunition. Two weeks later, on March 13, 2018, Pagourtzis ordered an additional 35 rounds of 12-gauge shotgun ammunition. In both cases, Pagourtzis was not required to provide any proof of age, he paid using an American Express gift card, used his real name and address for shipment, and declined the adult signature requirement, with both his orders being automatically approved, and shipped through FedEx.



The Defendant kills ten people and injured thirteen.



According to the probable cause affidavit and complaint filed by law enforcement, the shooter used a short-barreled 12-gauge Remington Model 870 pump-action shotgun and a Rossi .38-caliber snub-nosed revolver.[21] Both firearms appear to have been legally owned by his father.[22] Various types of explosive devices were found at the school and off campus, as well as a Molotov cocktail,[4][23] and residents in the surrounding area were warned to be aware of all suspicious objects.

The Defendant has never been tried because he is not considered legally competent.
