On the night of May 8, 1993, 29-year-old Torrance resident Joseph Finzel was shot and killed during a violent home invasion. An Oregon man, Randy Eugene Garcia, entered the Finzel home armed with a gun. Garcia shot Joseph twice, killing him instantly.

Garcia also shot Lynn and remained in the house for several hours, taking valuables and periodically checking on her in the hope she would die. Lynn managed to crawl to a neighbor’s porch and was found and rushed to the hospital, where emergency surgery saved her life. Joseph’s wedding ring was taken and later recovered when Garcia was arrested in Oregon. Garcia was charged with first-degree murder, burglary, robbery, attempted forcible rape, and forcible oral copulation; a jury convicted him on all counts, found special circumstance allegations true, and in March 1995 sentenced him to death.

Are there witnesses, neighbors, or anyone who remembers unusual activity around the Finzel home that night who could add details to the timeline?
