2 arrested for murder of Cerritos businessman

Cuauhtemoc Garcia was shot and killed in broad daylight in Cerritos. Deputies said two people have been arrested in connection with his murder after a police chase in Anaheim.

LOS ANGELES - Officials said two people have been arrested on suspicion of murdering a 66-year-old businessman in broad daylight at a park in Cerritos.

The killing occurred on Feb. 25.

The backstory:

Investigators said Cuauhtémoc Garcia was walking on the bike path near the Coyote Creek Riverbed at Don Knabe Community Regional Park just after noon on Feb. 25 when he was shot and killed.

Detectives with the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department said Garcia was targeted. They shared an image of two people, a man and woman, following him on the bike path.

Homicide detectives eventually tied the pair to a silver Toyota Prius. They put out the license plate number to nearby law enforcement agencies, and on Monday night, police in Fullerton found the vehicle and got into a police chase.

The pursuit ended with a collision in Anaheim, and the two were arrested.

Police identified them as 54-year-old John Chong Uk Moon and 58-year-old Cindy Kim. The two are siblings and apparently lived in the Prius.

LASD homicide detectives will present the case to the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s office on Wednesday for the filing of formal charges.

What we don't know:

Currently, a motive for the shooting is unknown. According to sources, the suspects are not related or known to the victim or family.

Family in grief

"I tell him I miss him, I love him," said Michelle Garcia, the victim's wife.

Garcia was a successful businessman, father of two, and married to his wife for nearly three decades.

His family said he walked 10 miles every day, teasing he was their own Forrest Gump. The family said his love for good food inspired him to workout daily… he was always walking at that park.
