Three convicted of murder in 2019 shooting of Georgia deputy
By The Associated Press
(Hall County Sheriff s Office)
Garcia-Solis and his cousin Velazquez were found guilty of malice murder in the fatal 2019 shooting of Hall County Sheriff’s Deputy Blane Dixon. Clements was found guilty of the less serious charge of felony murder.
The three were also found guilty in a series of burglaries and car thefts in the days leading up to the car chase and a shootout with police in a Gainesville neighborhood on July 7, 2019.
Garcia-Solis admitted on the stand that he fired the shots that killed Dixon, saying Tuesday in testimony that It was me, under questioning by his own lawyer. His lawyers later argued that the state had failed to prove Garcia-Solis was seeking to kill anyone, and thus the man wasn’t guilty of malice murder.
