Police
are searching for a 41-year-old man wanted in connection to the fatal stabbing a 61-year-old
man on Whitney Avenue early Tuesday morning in Bridgeport’s lower North End.
They
say Garcia was seen after the stabbing in a red-colored 2010 Nissan Pathfinder
bearing Connecticut license plate “AW74910.” Police are asking the
public to call them at 203-576-TIPS with any information that could lead to an
arrest.
The
details surrounding what led up to the stabbing have not yet been released.
Police
say Garcia is an undocumented immigrant from El Salvador. A woman, who
identified herself in Spanish to News 12 as Garcia’s wife, said she was
“heartbroken” by the situation.
She said
her husband's decision to take a life has left her alone in the world. She says
she will now have to leave her apartment and has nowhere else to go.
City
Councilwoman Jeanette Herron says the killings in Connecticut and across the
country need to stop.
“People
need to start thinking — if there is a conflict…if there's a problem, walk
away. You don't have to kill somebody," she said.
