Tiefer was found in the passenger seat of an SUV that had come to a stop partially on the curb, perpendicular to traffic. He had an apparent gunshot wound to his neck, deputies said.
Garcia and Tiefer were friends, according to the Sheriff's Department. Investigators are still trying to track down a suspect or suspect, and have not released any descriptions of possible suspects.

The men were shot at around 1:30 p.m. on a busy road in front of Paloma Elementary School. The campus was hosting around 40 students for a winter camp program and had to be put on lockdown, San Marcos Unified School District spokesperson Amy Ventetuolo told NBC 7 the day of the shooting.
