Bryan Kage Garcia, 35, was found shot to death in the driver’s seat of his car parked on Chadwick Street in Portland on the afternoon of February 27, 2017. The city recorded his death as its first homicide of that year. He was a Scarborough resident at the time.

Friends remembered Garcia as a talented artist and musician who made his own music and performed as a rapper. They described him as lively, giving, and devoted to his mother, whose picture he carried. His past included convictions for theft and drug charges and he was a lifetime registered sex offender; those who knew him said those records did not define the person they loved.

Portland police have called the killing drug-related and have followed leads beyond Maine, but no arrests or named suspects have been announced and the investigation remains open. Can anyone who knew Garcia or saw activity on Chadwick Street around February 27, 2017, share information that might help the case?
