SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY, Calif. – On November 26, 2024, San Bernardino County District Attorney’s Office prosecutors in our Office of Traffic Safety Unit filed multiple felony charges including murder against Alexis Jose Garcia (28) of San Bernardino. On the evening of November 24th, Defendant Garcia was allegedly driving under the influence, and ran a red light in Rialto t-boning a vehicle with a family inside, resulting in the death of two toddlers.
Alexis Jose Garcia is charged with the following:
- Two counts of PC187(a) – Murder
- Two counts of PC191.5(a) – Gross Vehicular Manslaughter While Intoxicated
- One count of VC20001(b)(2) – Hit and Run Resulting in Death
- One count of VC23153(a) – Driving Under the Influence of alcohol Resulting in Injury
- One count of VC23153(b) – Driving with a .08% BAC or More Causing Injury
Our office has also alleged multiple special allegations for fleeing after committing vehicular manslaughter, great bodily injury and driving with .15% or more BAC.
“Here we have yet another tragic DUI related death that was completely preventable and born out of selfish and reckless behavior.” said San Bernardino County District Attorney Jason Anderson. “Given the amount of education from advocates like Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) and countless ridesharing alternatives there is absolutely no excuse for anyone to get behind the wheel intoxicated.”
“Those two little girls should be writing their letters to Santa, but instead their family is dealing with the unthinkable task of writing their eulogies. We send our deepest condolences to their loved ones. “
District Attorney Jason Anderson
Our Office as well as Rialto Police Department have filed motions recommending No Bail. Defendant Garcia is scheduled for arraignment on November 27th, 2024, at Rancho Cucamonga Courthouse department R8.
