Guadalupe Garcia Rodriguez, 40, was found dead inside his pickup at the entrance to his Lawrenceville townhome community on Paden Cove Trail in the early hours of July 3, 2024. His wife, Rosa Quintanilla, had reported him missing two days earlier after he failed to return home from work; he had been employed by a tree-cutting company and was a husband and father of two.

Gwinnett County police opened a homicide investigation and released surveillance stills showing a Hispanic male in his 20s or 30s with a slim build walking away from the area near the truck. Investigators later learned of a dispute between Rodriguez and the father of an ex-girlfriend over land in Mexico; that line of inquiry led detectives to interview the ex-girlfriend and identify a suspect, 38-year-old Mario Rene Lopez-Jolon, who was located and arrested in Alabama.

Anyone with information about Rodriguez, the dispute mentioned by investigators, or the person captured on surveillance is asked to contact the Gwinnett County Police Department.
