Daniel Armando Cano Preciado was a 26-year-old Hispanic man shot in Kingsport, Tennessee, on the late morning of September 14, 2023. Police responded to reports of gunfire in the Lynn Garden community and found Cano Preciado with apparent gunshot wounds on Akers Avenue; he was taken to Holston Valley Medical Center and pronounced dead.

A 30-year-old man, Michael Garcia, was detained at the scene, arrested and charged with first-degree murder. During a preliminary hearing on October 10, 2023, witnesses said Garcia arrived at the home where Cano Preciado was, opened fire without provocation and shot Cano Preciado multiple times as he tried to flee; a two-year-old child was reported to have been present. CPR was attempted at the scene but Cano Preciado’s injuries proved fatal.

Garcia’s attorney described the shooting as passion-driven and sought a reduced bond and GPS monitoring; the judge kept bond at 1 million. The case was bound over to a Sullivan County Grand Jury. If anyone knew Daniel, his movements that day, or has information about the shooting, please come forward.
