Here’s what we know about Pagourtzis, so far.

A Facebook account, which authorities confirmed belonged to Pagourtzis, was taken down just after the shooting. But social media users shared screenshots of posts online.
On April 30, Pagourtzis shared a photo of a black shirt with the words “BORN TO KILL” written on the front.
An Instagram account linked to the suspect, which has also been removed, showed a photo of a gun and knife.
Pagourtzis was a dancer, member of church
Pagourtzis played on the school’s junior varsity football team, and was a member of a dance squad with a local Greek Orthodox church.
Father Stelios Sitaras of Assumption of the Virgin Mary Greek Orthodox Church in Galveston spoke with the Associated Press about meeting Pagourtzis.
