CLA Test 06: Road Rage Killing
First Part of CLA (Reading )
Patrol Report: On Tuesday 5th August, 2014 at around 14:45 hours four-year-old Lilly Garcia was riding in the backseat of her dad's truck with her 7-year-old brother Peter Garcia when someone in a Toyota opened fire on the family as they traveled down the main east - west freeway. The father quickly pulled the truck into the median and tried to administer first aid on his daughter as a bystander called 911 to report the incident. Two nurses showed up and tried save the girl's life as ambulances arrived and rushed her to the hospital, where she died an hour later. The child's father and brother were not injured.
Authorities quickly began pressing for tips, offering roughly $25000 for information that leads to the arrest of the shooter, who was driving a newer-model maroon or dark red Toyota Corolla with a big dent on the trunk and dark tinted windows. The car also had a Greensville license plate.
Incident Report 1: Details about the suspect, described as to be in his mid-20s or early 30s, emerged after police investigated more than a dozen leads. Witnesses described the suspect as having short dark hair, a thin face and goatee. Every officer in law enforcement in Greensville is currently looking for the vehicle described. Police are seeking a warrant to search a Greensville home and car as part of their investigation. In Tuesday's shooting, the suspect is accused of opening fire on the truck Lilly was in at around 15:00 hours local time in what police have described as a road rage accident.
Incident Report 2: Alan Garcia had just picked up his two children from school when it happened. He was trying to get off a freeway, and another car forced him out of his lane. Garcia gestured toward the other driver and swore at him. Then, authorities said, the seemingly trivial episode turned deadly. A man in the car opened fire on Garcia's pickup truck, hitting his 4-year-old daughter in the head. It's not clear what led the incident to escalate, but the father told officers the shooting was the result of road rage. Lily's father, Alan Garcia, told police he was cut off by a Toyota, he threw his hands up and yelled at that driver, and shots were later fired at Garcia's truck as he sped away, according to the criminal complaint. Garcia told police he heard two gunshots. The suspect, later identified as Tony Torrez, continued to persue Garcia's truck and fired twice more, according to the criminal complaint. Garcia pulled over and tried to give first aid to his dying little girl as a bystander called 911. Lilly was shot in the head and died at a hospital.
Incident Report 3: An anonymous call led investigators to Torrez. Police received an anonymous tip from the caller who alleged that the 31-year-old had acknowledged shooting the child after he said Garcia's truck tried to run him off the road. Police said they believe it was a random encounter and that the two didn't know each other.
Police detained a man on Friday in connection with the road-rage killing of the 4-year-old girl who was shot in the backseat of her father's truck after he picked up her and her brother from school, signaling a possible break in the case that has horrified the public. Police would not say if they believe the person of interest taken into custody is the shooter, but they said he matched the description of the gunman. His name was not immediately released. The person of interest was detained not long after police issued a public appeal for help to identify and find a suspect in the shooting. Police said they have recovered the car and the firearm believed to have been used in the killing. Detectives are scanning the area to collect shell casings oor other ballistic evidence.
Incident Report 4: Fingerprints taken from the detainee matched those of Tony Torrez, 31, an accused nearly a decade ago of pulling a gun on another driver. In 2006, Torrez was arrested on charges that he pulled a gun on another driver during an encounter in a parking garage, according to a criminal complaint in that case. Torrez' car was blocking vehicles from exiting the garage on July 30 of that year, and there was a confrontation with the driver of a SUV behind the blocked exit. Torrez allegedly got out, showed a handgun in his waistband, and then pointed the weapon at someone in the SUV, and a fight broke out. The gun went off three times during the struggle. Torrez was charged with aggravated battery and aggravated assult with a deadly weapon, but in 2007 the case was dropped because prosecutors couldn't secure the cooperation of the victim and witnesses.
