The man accused of fatally shooting a 14-year-old girl in February 2018 will stand trial starting Tuesday, court records show.

George Salazar, 22, faces a murder charge in the deadly drive-by shooting death of Natalie Hernandez on Feb. 12, 2018. Jurors were selected Monday.

Hernandez and three others were in a car near Umphress Park in Pleasant Grove, when a car pulled up beside them and someone started to shoot, police said during the investigation.

After the shooting, the teens drove to a nearby convenience store at Buckner Boulevard and Umphress Road where a store clerk told police Hernandez ran inside, asked him to call 911, then collapsed.

A second person injured in the shooting was hospitalized with injuries, but survived.
