Osvaldo Garcia, 29 and a Santa Ana resident, was killed on September 16, 2019, during a robbery tied to his work transporting cash for a marijuana dispensary. On the night of September 15 he left the dispensary with a backpack containing tens of thousands of dollars, planning to meet his girlfriend at an In-N-Out in Santa Ana. Near Bristol and 17th streets, close to Santa Ana College, another vehicle forced his car off the road; surveillance footage shows two men approach his vehicle and one, identified as John Taylor, firing multiple gunshots.

Garcia was pistol-whipped, beaten and shot five times; he died at the scene after trying to flee by crawling out the passenger window while on the phone with his girlfriend, who heard him say they were shooting at him. Investigators say the robbers were tipped off about the cash by a contact with ties to the dispensary and that the attack was motivated by greed. John Taylor and Ryan Jones were later convicted of special circumstances murder and received life without parole; Antonio Lamont Triplett, described as the bag man who ran off with the backpack, was convicted earlier and also sentenced to life.

Did anyone in the Santa Ana or South Los Angeles area see activity around Bristol and 17th that night or recognize the men in the surveillance footage?
