TORRANCE : Suspect in Killing of Man, Shooting of Woman Seized
A man suspected in the shooting death of a Torrance man and the attack of his wife last weekend was arrested in Oregon on Wednesday, authorities said.
Raymond Eugene Garcia, 22, was apprehended without incident at a home in Portland by Washington County sheriff’s deputies and FBI agents.
Garcia was being held without bail in a Washington County jail where he was booked on suspicion of murder, according to Torrance police.
Police believe Garcia was the intruder who entered a North Torrance home last Saturday and assaulted Lynn Finzel. When Joseph Raymond Finzel arrived soon afterward, police said, the assailant, using one of the Finzels’ guns, shot him twice and then shot Lynn Finzel. She remained in stable condition Wednesday at an undisclosed local hospital.
