LASD looking for 2 people seen near Southern California bikeway murder scene

Authorities are looking for help in identifying two people seen near a trail where a man was murdered late last month.

According to the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department , the victim, 66-year-old Cuauhtemoc Garcia, was shot to death while walking on the Coyote Creek Bikeway in Cerritos on Feb. 25 around 12:30 p.m.

The Coyote Creek Bikeway is 5.8 miles long, and according to Metrolink — which has a webpage offering riders information on trails near train stations — the trail is “immensely popular” with road bikers, trail runners and walkers.

No further details surrounding the circumstances of Garcia’s murder were released; however, LASD did include a photo of two people – a man and a woman – who were seen in the area at the time of the murder and are requesting the public’s help in identifying them.
