Lawrence Garcia, 34, of Whittier, California, was found shot multiple times in his car on November 13, 2016. His black Lexus sedan was parked inside the garage of his apartment complex on the 6300 block of Newlin Avenue when a witness saw him slumped behind the wheel and reported it to police around 9 a.m. Emergency responders pronounced Garcia dead at the scene shortly after 9 a.m.

Investigators estimate the shooting likely occurred around 1 a.m., based on earlier reports of gunshots in the area, but officers who initially responded to that shots-fired call did not find evidence of a shooting, leaving uncertainty about whether those earlier gunshots were connected to Garcia’s death. No arrests have been announced and the Whittier Police Department continues to seek witnesses and information.

If anyone saw activity near the 6300 block of Newlin Avenue that night or has information about the black Lexus, please contact the Whittier Police Department or Crime Stoppers.
