Joel Alfonso Garcia, 39, died after a shooting on Dubbs Avenue in West Columbia, South Carolina. The shooting happened about 9 p.m. on March 29 when Garcia and another West Columbia resident were struck by gunfire and taken to a hospital. The other man, 49, was treated and released; Garcia succumbed to his wounds the following Saturday. An autopsy found a single gunshot caused multiple organ failure, and the Lexington County Coroner ruled the death a homicide.

Garcia was able to give investigators a limited description before he died, saying two African-American men shot and robbed them and fled in a white four-door vehicle; no further physical details were provided. The Lexington County Sheriff’s Department has asked the public for help identifying the two suspects. No arrests have been announced and the investigation remains active.

Did anyone in the West Columbia area see a white four-door vehicle leaving Dubbs Avenue that night or recognize those involved?
