Aaron Garcia, 17, of San Bernardino died after a June 6, 2022 shooting in the parking lot of an apartment complex on Tippecanoe Avenue. Born February 17, 2005, in Fort Smith, Arkansas, Aaron was one of three people shot that day; a 32-year-old woman and a 43-year-old man were also wounded and taken to hospital. Aaron was transported to a local hospital and pronounced deceased shortly after arrival.

Police identified a suspect at the scene and arrested Johnnie Gammage, who was booked at the Central Detention Center on charges of murder and attempted murder. Questions have been raised about security at the apartment complex and whether inadequate measures contributed to the violence; the family’s potential civil claims against property owners or management are under consideration as that aspect is investigated.

If anyone knew Aaron or saw activity at the Tippecanoe Avenue complex on June 6, 2022, please share information that could help the investigation.
