<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Detectives ;developed that Roger Garcia’s brother, Edgar Garcia-Gaona, was shot on February 10, 2017, during a botched drug deal, also in Montgomery Village. Garcia-Gaona was reported to have been carrying a weapon and did exchange gunshots with his assailants.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">A friend of Edgar Garcia-Gaona, <strong>Jose Canales-Yanez,</strong> was determined to be the boyfriend (now possibly husband) of Kara Yanez. Kara Yanez is believed to be the victim of the rumored drug-related robbery committed by Najjar. In a report filed by Kara Yanez on December 14, 2016, Yanez stated that she was approached by a blue Honda Civic while she was walking, and a front-seat passenger grabbed her Apple iPad. She was dragged by the car for approximately 50 feet.</span></p>



<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">The developing motive for the shooting is that it was in retaliation for Najjar’s robbery of Kara Yanez. At this time, it is unknown if there was a motive for the killing of Ziberov, or if his death was incidental to the killing of Najjar.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">“Although detectives have made these three arrests, this by no means should be interpreted that the ;investigation has concluded,” said ;Chief Manger. “These most recent developments are the result of the community taking an active role in this investigation. It is believed that, considering the progress made over the past 36 hours, there are additional sources of information who have yet to come forward.” ;</span></p>



<p class="paragraph"><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><strong><em>NBC4 Reported:</em></strong> &#8220;When police moved in to arrest the suspects over the weekend, they found two in a car with their bags packed, heading for another state, police said.</span></p>

<p class="paragraph"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">The investigation is ongoing and Manger hopes the release of the suspects&#8217; names would spur others with knowledge of the case to come forward.</span></p>



<p class="paragraph"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">&#8220;We think there&#8217;s more information that folks out in the community have that can move us even further along with this case,&#8221; he said.</span></p>



<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Anyone with information is encouraged to call ;the Major Crimes Division at 240-773-5070. Those wishing to remain anonymous may call Crime Solvers of Montgomery County, which is offering a reward of up to $10,000 for any information that leads to additional arrests and indictments. Tipsters can call Crime Solvers of Montgomery County toll-free at 1-866-411-TIPS (8477).</span></p>



<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">All three suspects arrested on June 17, ;are being held without bond. They are currently scheduled to have bail review hearings on Monday, June 19 at 1 p.m.</span></p>
