Richard Ricky Catalano was 26 when he was shot to death during a violent home invasion in North Providence, Rhode Island, in the late hours of a Sunday in August 2014. Known as Ricky to his family, he was killed after assailants forced their way into the residence. His mother was also seriously injured during the attack; she suffered a gunshot wound and had a portion of a finger bitten off while trying to protect her son.

Investigators identified multiple suspects tied to a planned robbery of Catalano at his home. Prosecutors said Dari Garcia carried out the fatal shooting after two accomplices, Victor and Viclei Hernandez, drove away following the initial break-in. A jury found Dari Garcia guilty on all 14 counts, including Catalano’s murder, after a two-week trial in December 2017; the Hernandez brothers had previously pleaded guilty for their roles. If anyone knew Richard or has information about the August 2014 invasion, please share what might help the case.
