Suspect sought in murder in small Colorado farming town

SAGUACHE – Authorities in Colorado were searching for a 45-year-old man in connection with a murder in the town of Saguache early Sunday morning.

Suspect Donald Garcia was considered armed and dangerous, the Colorado Bureau of Investigation said.

He’s suspected in the killing of a Salida man in his 50s in Saguache, an agricultural town of about 500 people that’s surrounded by mountains in south central Colorado.

Deputies with the Saguache County Sheriff’s office were called to a residence in the town just before 4:30 a.m. Sunday for a report of an injured man. They encountered the victim, who later died from his injuries, the bureau said.

The victim’s name was withheld pending notification of his relatives.
