New surveillance video tonight from the shopping center
where a missing mother was found dead inside a car.
It shows the vehicle pulling up in the moment she was discovered.
Fox 5's Tisha Lewis is in Hyattsville.
A tragedy all around.
In fact, I just spoke with Mari Carias Garcia's sister
who says that it's a death that should have never happened.
The victim identified as 29-year-old Carias Garcia.
And she was barely found dead in this parking lot.
Take a look. You can see there's a concrete rock behind me.
A red car was parked there
with the victim's body found inside.
Police telling us that the person of interest apparently
found dead inside his residence less than 24 hours later.
Let's get to the surveillance video. Here
it is. Video captured from a nearby camera showing
the moment the red SUV pulled up in the parking
lot on Monday night. It appears it hit a wall before stopping.
Wednesday afternoon, cameras
capturing a person walking up to the car to discover her body.
Her family says she was a
young mother from Guatemala.
She was reportedly unresponsive when police arrived on scene
and believe she died Monday night.
Sky Fox showing the parking lot turned crime scene with
cops surrounding this red SUV behind a Family Dollar store
in Laundromat on University Boulevard
East. We spoke with the manager of the Laundromat
who tells Fox 5 the SUV had been parked there
since Monday night around nine.
We also spoke with a resident who lives nearby and shared her
concerns and fears about the discovery.
It's scary, very scary. Yeah, it's shocking. I don't
because I'll be on the road as well like going home
because I'm not far from here so it's quite
shocking. It's really sad for me too because it's really sad.
It's jungle and can't do anything.
Fox 5 has learned Garcia was pronounced dead at the scene.
Again, her sister sharing a domestic
violence awareness flyer with us saying that enough is enough
and that people should speak up
the office of the chief medical examiner out
of Baltimore will determine the official cause of death
