Marcus Garcia, 36, was fatally shot just after 11 p.m. on August 9, 2023, in a West Valley City neighborhood near 4200 South Bluebird Circle. Police described the shooting as a targeted crime; Garcia was found dead in the middle of the road with a gunshot wound.

According to investigators, a group including 17-year-old Jose Hernandez-Liborio arrived at Garcia’s home earlier that night looking for Garcia’s stepson over a monetary debt. When told the stepson was not there, the group began to leave. Garcia followed them in his truck to get their license plate. Both vehicles stopped, Garcia exited his truck, and Hernandez-Liborio fired a single shot from his vehicle, striking and killing Garcia. The suspects fled in a light-colored sedan that was later involved in a minor collision on 4000 West before driving off. Hernandez-Liborio was identified as the primary suspect and was arrested the following Monday during a traffic stop in West Jordan.

Garcia’s family remembered him as a loving brother, son, uncle, and father who had recently become a truck driver. Does anyone have information about the events that night or saw the light-colored sedan headed away from Bluebird Circle?
