Garcia was charged Thursday in a criminal complaint with the use of interstate facilities in the commission of murder-for-hire, according to the FBI. If convicted, he will face up to 10 years in prison,The criminal complaint says that Garcia needed money to support his family and, in mid-February, began searching the internet for mercenary jobs. He found rentahitman.com, a website created in 2005 to advertise a cyber security startup that failed.
According to the complaint, Garcia submitted an inquiry saying he was interested in obtaining employment as a hitman. He followed up on his initial request and submitted other identification documents and a resume, stating he was an expert marksman and employed in the Air National Guard since July 2021.
