On April 29, 2002, Los Angeles County Deputy Sheriff David March was on routine uniformed patrol, driving a single man marked black and white patrol vehicle in an unincorporated area of the county. At approximately 10:30 a.m., March apparently initiated a traffic stop, entering the vehicle's license plate on his Mobile Data Terminal (M.D.T.). Less than two minutes after the entry, a passing motorist observed Deputy March lying in the street bleeding and activated the emergency button on the M.D.T. Deputy March was shot several times, at close range, by a single gunman and died from his wounds. March's handgun was still holstered.

Armando Garcia has admitted killing Deputy March to a number of acquaintances. He had previously vowed to kill any police officer who tried to arrest him. Other evidence also connects Garcia to killing Deputy March. Garcia fled to Mexico within hours of killing Deputy March and is believed to still be hiding there.
