Man Charged for Allegedly Murdering 20-Year-Old Santiago Garcia

31-year-old Kenroy Kelvin Smith has been arrested and charged with murder in connection to the death of 20-year-old Santiago Garcia. 

He is accused of fatally stabbing Garcia on Sunday night in Pomona Village, Toledo. 

On Monday, Assistant Commissioner of Police Hilberto Romero stated, “Santiago Garcia and Jason Sharp went to the residence of Smith to purchase cannabis. There was an altercation between them. A fight started, at which point Smith took out a knife and inflicted the injuries to both persons.”

According to Garcia’s sister, Melissa Lemus, Smith had intentions of hurting her brother for about a year. She said, “We know that it was a threat from years ago… he was telling other people that he would do something to my brother.”

Both Sharp and Garcia received stab wounds and were taken to the hospital, where Sharp received treatment, and Garcia was pronounced dead.
