Just after midnight on Sunday, December 3, 2017, 27-year-old Yadel Garcia was standing at the corner of Broadway and West 175th Street in Washington Heights when a group of men approached him and one of them opened fire, striking Garcia multiple times in the back. He was taken to Columbia University Medical Center and pronounced dead. Garcia lived on Thayer Street in Inwood.

The NYPD identified a suspect and in January 2018 publicly named 31-year-old Lee Almonte as wanted in the killing, suggesting a possible motive involving a shared romantic partner. A description was released placing Almonte at about 5 feet 11 inches and 180 pounds with brown eyes and black hair. In May 2018 police located and arrested Almonte after he was spotted in a photo on a Los Angeles barbershop Instagram page and he was brought back to New York to face charges.

Did anyone who knew Yadel, his routines, or who was in the Washington Heights area that night see anything that could help explain what happened?
