Police Chief announced the arrest during a Tuesday evening vigil for 41-year-old Alejandro Garcia, who was killed Saturday night. Investigators say a man in a car in the drive-thru lane shot Garcia after an argument. Investigators say the dispute began when the victim’s 19-year-old son, who was also working, refused to accept a counterfeit $20 bill for a meal.
