On June 21, 2024, at about 7:20 p.m., 38-year-old Juan Tony Garcia was fatally shot in the head on a Metro E Line train at the La Cienega/Jefferson station in Los Angeles. The shooting followed an altercation that began at street level involving Garcia and a group of individuals; the dispute moved to the platform and both parties boarded the same train before Garcia was shot and pronounced dead at the scene.

Garcia was a father of four who regularly used the E Line for his commute; family and friends remembered him as a dedicated family man with a promising future. A memorial of flowers and candles was left at the station. Initial reports described three to four male suspects, estimated to be between 15 and 20 years old, fleeing on skateboards. Authorities have opened an investigation and were seeking to identify and apprehend those responsible.

Did anyone on the E Line that evening see the altercation or the people who fled on skateboards?
