Israel Garcia, a 52-year-old Hispanic man, was found dead inside a repair project house in the 1200 block of Northwest First Street in Oklahoma City after the night of October 15, 2015. Officers discovered him lying in a pool of blood with severe head trauma; detectives treated the injuries as homicidal rather than accidental or medical.

Garcia had been working on the property and spending the evening with another worker, John Rodriguez. Rodriguez told investigators he had fallen asleep at the house, woke to use the restroom, and then found Garcia already down and bloodied; he denied involvement. Months into the inquiry police later named Rodriguez a suspect and began searching for him as a fugitive.

On December 21, 2016, after following up on a tip, officers found Rodriguez in an abandoned house near Southeast 27th Street and South Shields Boulevard and took him into custody in connection with Garcia’s October 15, 2015, killing.

Did anyone know Garcia or remember seeing him or Rodriguez at that work site around October 15, 2015?
