On the evening of July 11, 2022, 24-year-old Erni Garcia was standing in front of a bodega on Sherman Avenue in Inwood, Manhattan, when a white BMW pulled up at about 8:35 p.m. A man wearing a surgical mask and a winter coat got out and fired a shot that struck Garcia in the chest. Emergency responders took him to Saint Barnabas Hospital, where he died of his wounds.

After 19 months of investigation, authorities identified a suspect in February 2024 as 23-year-old Juan Peguero of Yonkers. U.S. Marshals located Peguero in the Dominican Republic and he was extradited to Manhattan on February 15, 2024. He was charged with murder and criminal possession of a weapon in connection with Garcia’s killing. The motive has not been disclosed.

Does anyone have information about Garcia’s movements that evening or who might have been in a white BMW near Sherman Avenue on July 11, 2022?
