Isaiah Garcia, 19, was found dead on a sidewalk in the Bay Terraces neighborhood of San Diego on March 1, 2019. Emergency responders arrived about 12:40 a.m. and pronounced him dead shortly after; he had severe trauma to his upper body. Initial reports said he had been shot.

Surveillance footage later showed a dark-colored sedan pass, stop a block away, and three individuals in dark clothing exit and approach Garcia. A verbal confrontation escalated, one of the suspects fired at Garcia, who tried to flee and was struck by additional gunshots. Witnesses reported multiple shots. No suspects were identified and no arrests were announced immediately. Garcia’s grandfather said a skateboard he had given Isaiah was found at the scene and described him as a good kid with hopes for a better future.

The San Diego Police Department’s homicide unit is investigating and asking anyone with information to come forward. Did anyone in Bay Terraces see that dark-colored sedan or the three people who left it?
