Geovanis Garcia, 43, was found dead from gunshot wounds at the Sahara Motel in Albuquerque on February 1, 2017. Witnesses reported hearing an argument followed by gunshots around 11 a.m., and the Albuquerque Police Department opened a homicide investigation.

Investigators identified Jorge Correa-Reyes as the primary suspect in Garcia’s murder. Correa-Reyes was taken into custody on February 15, 2017, after attempting to flee from officers. Victoria Pearson, 28, was also arrested around that time on charges of harboring Ortiz, who was connected to a different murder investigation.

The arrests were reported as the product of the APD’s investigation and community cooperation. If anyone has information about Garcia, his movements that morning, or witnesses to the argument at the Sahara Motel, please come forward.
