Suspect indicted in 2015 murder of Mission man

Posted:
LUBBOCK, Texas -

A suspect in the 2015 death of Antonio Garcia III was indicted by the Lubbock Grand Jury Tuesday.

Jonathan Herrera, 28, is accused of shooting Garcia, who was from Mission, Texas.

The victim's body was found in a south Lubbock County ditch on September 11, 2015. Investigators discovered Garcia's car on fire in the 4300 block of E. Second Street.

Investigators report they found shell casings at the murder scene and they matched the gun Herrera had when he was arrested for a confrontation with the cops a couple days later.

Police say he had run away and shot at them when they approached a stolen vehicle.

The warrant suggests a shoe print at the murder scene was a match for the shoes Herrera was wearing when he was arrested.
