Michael Garcia was 33 when he was killed on September 14, 2014, in Berkeley County, West Virginia, south of Martinsburg. The sequence began that afternoon when LaQuadia Grant contacted Garcia on behalf of Tulsa Johnson to arrange a heroin purchase. Johnson arrived with Vincent Scott Smith Jr. and Jucobe Johnson. Garcia directed the meeting to a gas station, then to Davon Adams’s home in Inwood. Adams expelled the group after being told they planned to take Garcia’s drugs by force.

Grant gave investigators a statement days later that she later repeated at trial. DNA from the rear area of Garcia’s vehicle could not absolutely identify a single individual but the expert testified Smith could not be excluded; the usable portions of the profile had a reported random-match probability of about one in 12.3 billion. Cell-phone records were also introduced at trial to place people near the scene. In September 2015 a jury convicted Tulsa Johnson and Vincent Smith of first-degree felony murder and conspiracy to commit robbery; both received life sentences without parole in January 2016. Does anyone have additional details about the movements of the vehicle or about evidence recovered from the cornfield area?
