Garcia died from his injuries. A suspect, Lord Gabriel, got away in a four-door sedan.
Less than a day after the shooting, police in Tucson, Arizona, arrested Lord, also a 25-year old. The resident of Pittsburg, California, is now in a Pima County Jail cell, awaiting transport back to San Diego to be formally charged in Garcia’s death.
Family members told NBC 7 that Garcia was a peacekeeper, not a troublemaker. He was an up-and-coming artist and the father of a 5-year-old girl. Recent shootings have some living, working and visiting the Gaslamp Quarter concerned about their safety. NBC 7 s Dana Griffin heard from them.

O
ur Bay Curious audience is a reliable source of questions about transportation, whether we re talking about walking, bicycling, riding on public transit or driving on local highways.
This week, we ve got two questions both voted up by you, the people that come from the world of Bay Area freeways.
First, Herb Masters, a San Carlos resident, asked what was up with what we ll call for now a ghost freeway that appears to have been started, but never finished, on the Peninsula.
And second, we have a question from Daniel Huertas of San Francisco, who wants to know: Why is there so much trash on our freeways? And is it just him, or are Bay Area freeways really getting dirtier?
