An arrest warrant affidavit states that Garcia and Rebelo-Garcia conspired to steal a gun from Gagne that he had offered to sell. During the transaction, Gagne presented the suspects a box with a firearm inside, Garcia later told police. One suspect then took the gun from Gagne, who drew a firearm from his holster, the affidavit states. Gunfire was exchanged andFirst responders arrived to find Gagne in the street. Gagne told first responders he was selling a gun before he was shot. He was taken to a hospital, where he later died.During the court proceedings, Garcia’s defense attorney, Suzanne Kramer, argued that her client had a strong support system.
