Manatee County, Florida detectives, this week,arrested a known gang member for a 2006 murder after he allegedly confessed to killing the man to another inmate in 2015.
The two men took the argument outside before leaving in different directions. Vela, police said, went to a relative’s home in Bradenton, Florida. While there, he saw Garcia once again, and the two began arguing.Detectives found Vela dead in the backyard of the home, along with bullet casings and a witness who would not cooperate.Deputies stopped Garcia for a traffic violation nearly three months later and found a 9mm pistol in his vehicle. Garcia was arrested for possessing a firearm as a felon.
But detectives were not told about the conversation last summer. Another witness detectives interviewed in July 2021 said they witnessed Garcia shoot Vela.On Monday, detectives obtained an arrest warrant for Garcia, who was located at a home on 30th Avenue West and taken into custody, WTVT said. He was out on bond for an unrelated case.
In June 2021, detectives said, another arrest warrant was issued for Garcia in connection to the 2014 murder of Samuel Conde.The detectives said it was possible Garcia was connected to other unsolved violent crimes dating back to the mid-2000s, and they ask anyone with information to call the Manatee County Sheriff’s Office at 941-747-3011 or Manatee Crime Stoppers at 866-634-8477.
