Responding officers found Garcia on the road with multiple gunshot wounds. He was out on bail and wearing a court-ordered ankle monitor at the time of his death. The scheduled court appearance was less than two hours after the fatal shooting. Arima Police Station officers and Region 2 Homicide Bureau of Investigations detectives are continuing enquiries into the incident.
