TODAY marks the third week since the fatal shooting of Reynaldo Garcia, 41, and police continue their investigation into the case.
Garcia was shot dead by police after the “distraught man” went to the Veterans Cemetery in Piti with his family to bury his brother.
Acting chief of police Paul Suba told Variety that the investigation is still ongoing.
“I still cannot release any details about the shooting,” Suba said. “There are still several people that need to be interviewed. When that is complete, we will have something ready for submittal and review by the Attorney General’s Office.”
Garcia died on Oct. 2 as a result of gunfire by Guam Police Department officers after a standoff at the cemetery.
Chief Medical Examiner Dr. Aurelio Espinola completed an autopsy on Garcia the following day but he said he could not release his findings by order of GPD.
GPD has yet to disclose how many shots were fired, and whether the weapon they confiscated from Garcia at the scene was a real gun or a fake one.
Suba said releasing these details would jeopardize the investigation.
GPD’s Criminal Investigation Section and Internal Affairs agents are taking the lead in the investigation.
Suba said his officers are “trustworthy” enough to handle the investigation, rather than getting another agency to look into it.
Garcia was found distraught at the cemetery locked in a sport utility vehicle. Police ordered Garcia to step out of the vehicle. When he did, sources say, GPD officers noticed he was carrying “what appeared to be a gun.”
Police ordered him to drop the weapon. Sources say Garcia then made threatening motions at the officers which led police to fire, killing Garcia.
Family members and Garcia were at a family memorial service for one of Garcia’s brothers who died the week prior to the standoff.
Family members deny that Garcia had a gun with him.
Immediately after the shooting, several officers were placed on administrative leave until investigations are completed, according to Guzman.
