Steven Garcia, 38, was fatally shot on September 6, 2020, at a BP gas station at 39th Street and Archer Avenue in Brighton Park, Chicago. The incident happened over Labor Day weekend after Garcia and his wife were turned away from the store for not wearing face masks. Garcia took off his shirt so his wife could use it as a face covering and waited outside while she went back into the store.

Pena and three others were sitting in an SUV across the street when two men, identified as old Satan’s Disciples, approached Garcia after noticing his tattoos and asked about gang affiliation. One of the men allegedly punched Garcia multiple times, causing him to run. Pena is said to have chased Garcia back to the gas station and shot him in the back with a large-caliber handgun; the shooting was captured on surveillance cameras. Garcia was pronounced dead at St. Anthony Hospital and the Cook County medical examiner ruled the death a homicide.

Area One detectives are handling the ongoing investigation. If anyone witnessed the shooting or the events around the gas station that day, please come forward with what was seen or recorded.
