Alfredo Garcia Case
On May 21, 2002, bar owner Steve Johnson withdrew a large amount of cash from the bank to re-fill the ATM at Harley’s Club 155, one of the bars he owned. When Steve arrived at the bar, he spoke briefly to the bartender and then proceeded to head to the ATM to re-fill it with cash. As Steve was re-filling the ATM,
Garcia and co-defendant James Sheffield, armed with a gun, entered the bar through the back door and ordered Steve to drop the cash. Steve did as he was told, and yelled to both Garcia and Sheffield to get out of the bar. Steve also told his bartender to “get out of here” as a scuffle among Steve and both defendants was occurring. The bartender then heard two shots and the defendants fled the scene, dropping a trail of 20 dollar bills in their path.
Garcia and Sheffield attempted to force a lady out of her car but were unsuccessful; then ended up getting on a city bus. Garcia was subsequently arrested on June 1, 2002. Sheffield pled guilty to first-degree murder and was sentenced to natural life; he died in prison shortly after sentencing.
