Yuliana Garcia was 17 and from Palm Springs when she was shot to death on February 3, 2019, in a case that shocked the community. She and friends Jacob Montgomery, 19, and Juan Duarte-Raya, 18, were found inside a crashed car on Sunny Dunes Road with multiple gunshot wounds; a fourth victim, Carlos Campos-Rivera, 25, was found a few blocks away, also fatally shot. Yuliana had a defensive wound to her hand, indicating she tried to shield herself from the gunfire, and some victims sustained targeted shots to the head.

Police arrested Jose Vladimir Larin Garcia near the scene, where he was discovered hiding under a truck and covered in the victims’ blood. He was taken to a hospital, attempted to flee, and was later found at a bus station with a Florida ticket after altering his appearance. He was charged with four counts of first-degree murder. Yuliana is remembered by her family as kind and outgoing, and the loss deeply affected relatives and the Palm Springs community.

Does anyone who knew Yuliana or the others have information that could shed light on that night?
