Los Angeles: The City of Los Angeles announces a reward offer of $50,000 for information leading to the arrest and conviction of suspect Adam Quintana.
On November 17, 2008, at around 2:00 a.m., in the 200 block of Breed Street, Adam Quintana bludgeoned his friend, Fernando Garcia to death with a hammer. Quintana then callously dumped the victim’s body in a trash bin and left the area.
