Nearly 4 months after Morongo Valley man’s murder, family says no arrests have been made

MORONGO VALLEY, Calif. (KESQ) - It's been nearly 4 months since 50-year-old Chris Garcia of Morongo Valley was killed in what police called an 'intentional hit and run,' and the family says no arrests have been made.

News Channel 3 spoke with Garcia's wife just days after her husband's death on November 6, 2025.

She alleges a suspect rear-ended the couple near Highway 62 and when they pulled over to exchange information, a heated exchange unfolded. That's when his wife says he was intentionally run over by the suspect and left in the road.

"My husband was walking back to my car, the guy actually put it in reverse and backed up and then floored it and rammed right into my car, the back of my car with my daughter in it still. He then backed up and proceeded to go around my vehicle, which he then struck my husband and drug him under the truck," his wife said.

Tonight, News Channel 3 is getting answers from officials on the delay in arrests and the ongoing investigation.
