Family, friends hold vigil for shooting victim John P. Garcia - KansasCity.com: "John P. Garcia visited the corner of Cesar Chavez and Mercier avenues — a neighborhood hangout — early Sunday to promote his new rap CD, relatives say.
As he mingled with the two dozen or more people about 4 a.m., someone inside a passing car opened fire. Garcia was mortally wounded.
Relatives think the shooter may have been from a gang in Kansas City, Kan. They don’t think Garcia, 28, was in a gang or was the intended target, although they acknowledge that some gang members may have been in the crowd.
A massive gathering of friends and family at Garcia’s vigil Wednesday night was a testament to the magnitude of his goofy, loving and friendly personality, said his father, John Garcia. He loved his family unconditionally, according to his wife, Celena Garcia, and greeted friends and strangers alike with a hug and a handshake.
“Everywhere he went, he knew somebody,” she said"
