Ira Shane was nabbed Tuesday for the Jan. 1 slaying of 63-year-old Sergio Garcia, who was fatally stabbed while defending his girlfriend in a drunken fight with a group on College Ave. near E. 170th St. in Claremont.
Sergio Garcia, 63, was with his 38-year-old girlfriend at a close friend’s New Year’s Eve party where alcohol was flowing, but an argument derailed the celebration, said Garcia’s ex-wife.
