San Bernardino News Daily Local news for San Bernardino, about San Bernardino.
On November 26, 2024, San Bernardino County District Attorney’s Office prosecutors in the 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 3-year-old Alinah and 4-year-old Neveah Flores.
The two girls died at the scene. Police said they were both in car seats but one of them was ejected from the vehicle.
Alexis Jose Garcia has been 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
The DA 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 in a statement. “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.”
