(MIAMI HERALD) — Three months after he beat a murder charge under Florida’s controversial self-defense law, Miami’s Greyston Garcia was shot dead late Tuesday by a stray bullet as he drove his truck through Liberty City.
The shooting was a stunning demise for a man whose case had drawn intense interest nationwide.
A Miami-Dade judge in March granted Garcia immunity under the Stand-Your-Ground law just as furor was spreading over the killing of Trayvon Martin, a Miami Gardens teen killed in Sanford by a self-proclaimed neighborhood watchman who claimed self-defense.
