Luis Garcia, 27, and his brother Manuel Garcia, 30, were shot and killed on October 14, 2023, in an alley behind the Stagecoach Bar and Grill in Ashland, Wisconsin. The brothers had been visiting another brother, Ricardo, for the weekend and were living near Eau Claire at the time; all three were originally from Mexico. Ricardo hid and witnessed the shooting.

Police say the man seen beating someone in the alley was later identified as 35-year-old bar owner Nathan Freddie Monkelien, who reportedly drew a gun and began shooting. Officers found Luis and Manuel dead at the scene; Monkelien was apprehended nearby, arrested and charged with two counts of first-degree intentional homicide and held on a $1 million bond. A small memorial was placed in the alley and a GoFundMe was set up to help return the brothers to Mexico for burial.

If anyone has information about what happened that night or knew Luis and Manuel, please share what you know.
