Joe L. Garcia, 60, was one of six people fatally shot on November 7, 1992, during a rampage in Morro Bay and Paso Robles, California. The attack was carried out by Lynwood Drake III, who opened fire at multiple locations; Garcia was killed at a local establishment where he had been present. The spree created widespread chaos as patrons fled and police launched a major investigation.

Authorities said Drake had a history of mental health issues and personal grievances, and that he planned the attacks and selected targets in advance. He was charged with multiple counts of murder, convicted, and sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole. Memorials in the community remember the victims, including Garcia.

If anyone knew Joe Garcia or witnessed events that day, does anyone have memories or information to share?
