Angel Alberto Garcia is wanted by Philadelphia authorities for the tragic drunk driving death of a beloved grandmother. AMW had this case on their old website as a web-exclusive. Below is that archived case description:
Police: Drunk Driver Garcia No Angel
Just fourteen months after her father passed away after a sudden heart attack, Jamie Kendorski was hit with another blow: her mother, Theresa, had been hit and killed by a drunk driver.
“She was only 47 years old," she said. "After my dad died, she was really sad for a long time and she just started getting better probably within the two months before she died.”
Theresa Kendorski had been helping her other daughter with her newborn baby the night of the accident on September 2, 2006.
Her family says she was running an errand to pick up some ice cream at the local convenience store in her Philadelphia, Pa. neighborhood.
Cops say Theresa Kendorski never made it back home that evening because of one man: Angel Alberto Garcia.
Cops: Drunk Driver Skipped Town After Killing Pedestrian
According to police, Garcia was intoxicated at the time of the crash, and a blood test revealed he had also been smoking marijuana.
That fact, combined with the pouring rain that night, proved to be lethal for Theresa, who was walking in the crosswalk at a red light.
Authorities say Garcia was so out of control that the collision sent the affectionate grandmother 80 feet from the point of impact.
She died less than half an hour later leaving behind three daughters and five grandchildren.
“She was the fun grandma and the kids loved being with her," said Jamie of her beloved mother. "They miss her like crazy.”
Police: Garcia Also Wanted In Florida
Philly cops are pleading for the public’s help in locating Garcia who they say skipped town before they could serve him with a warrant. They say Garcia is also a wanted man in Florida for a parole violation.
Garcia is a light-skinned Latino who stands at 5’9” and weighs approximately 170 lbs. with black hair and brown eyes.
Cops say Garcia has ties to Miami and Ft. Lauderdale, Fl., West New York, N.J., and the Washington, D.C. metro area, including Maryland and Virginia.
Thoughts? As far as I can tell, Garcia is still at large as of this posting date (10/10/2015) since I couldn't find anything online that suggests otherwise. However, if anyone has proof otherwise, please feel free to let us know. Although the AMW archive provides a laundry list of possible locations, all of them are on the East coast, be it the Northern or Southern end, so it seems likely he's somewhere around there and not the Midwest or West Coast. (Watch him get caught in California now that I said that.)
