A Moreno Valley man faces murder and other charges after he dropped his underaged girlfriend off at her Riverside home, then fatally struck the girl’s pregnant sister with his vehicle when confronted.
The confrontation occurred at about 11:45 p.m. Sunday night in the 1500 block of Gregg Place, police said in a news release.
Isaac Blackhorse Garcia, 19, was taking home a teenaged girl with whom he was in “a sexual relationship” when the girl’s family approached his vehicle, police said.
Blackhorse Garcia sped away, though he hit his girlfriend’s sister with his vehicle in the process, police said.
That sister, whose identity has not been released but who was pregnant and a teenager herself, was taken to a local hospital, where she later died. Her baby was delivered and remains in critical condition.
Blackhorse Garcia’s vehicle was found in Moreno Valley, and he was taken into custody on charges of murder, hit-and-run resulting in death and two counts of illegal sex with a minor, police said.
He is being held without bail at the Robert Presley Detention Center and is due to appear in the Riverside Hall of Justice on April 14.
Police believe Blackhorse Garcia may have “contacted and sexually abused” other minors, and anyone with information about other victims or about this murder investigation is asked to contact Detective Stanley Hua at 951-353-7135 or [email protected], or Detective Nic Cantino at 951-353-7104 or [email protected].
