Man dies in crash following deadly California rampage
Central California authorities say a man who went on a deadly robbery, shooting and carjacking rampage has died in a high-speed crash during which he intentionally tried to smash into other cars.
Authorities say 36-year-old Gustavo Garcia of Visalia killed a man and wounded several other people in apparently random shootings that started Sunday. He also robbed a convenience store, carjacked a truck, fired shots at his ex-girlfriend’s house, and finally injured four people in wrong-way car crashes on State Route 65 before he was flung from the car and died Monday morning.
Tulare County Sheriff Mike Bourdreaux says a motive is unclear but may have involved an ended relationship.
He also says Garcia had a long criminal history and was deported from the U.S. in 2014.
