On the evening of Saturday, April 23, 2022, 27-year-old Joshua Anthony Garcia was standing outside a deli near East 174th Street and Clay Avenue in the Bronx when a black Mercedes sedan turned the corner and opened fire on a group of men. Witnesses reported as many as seven shots fired. Garcia was struck in the chest, taken to Jacobi Hospital, and pronounced dead. Two other men, ages 34 and 39, were shot in the legs and were expected to survive.

Investigators concluded the drive-by was gang-related and aimed at rival gang members. The probe identified two alleged members of a group called 670 from Castle Hill — Justis Colon, 25, and Ariel Martinez, 23 — as connected to the attack. In the weeks after the shooting, Martinez was arrested and charged, and in October 2022 an indictment was unsealed charging both Colon and Martinez with racketeering conspiracy, murder in aid of racketeering, murder with a firearm, attempted murder, and related offenses alleging the gang’s involvement in narcotics distribution, fraud, and violent acts to protect and expand territory.

Did anyone in the area see the black Mercedes or have information about the men gathered outside the deli that night?
