LITTLEROCK – A man suspected of shooting a man to death and wounding another in Littlerock has turned himself in to the sheriff’s department, authorities said.

Trinidad “Trini” Garcia, a 50-year-old transient, surrendered at about 9 p.m. Friday, Aug. 16, at the Palmdale sheriff’s station, Los Angeles County sheriff’s officials said.

The shooting happened just before 6 a.m. on Aug. 11 in the 13800 block of East Avenue R-6, sheriff’s officials said.

The man who died at the scene — identified as Michael Robbins — suffered a gunshot wound to his upper body. The second victim was taken to a hospital, where he was treated for serious injuries and is now in stable condition, authorities said. Both victims were in their 50s. Their relationship to each other is unknown.

Garcia is being held without bail, and he is due in court on Aug. 20, according to LASD inmate records.

The shooting remains under investigation and no further information is being released at this time.

Anyone with additional information on this crime is encouraged to call the sheriff’s Homicide Bureau at 323-890-5500 or Crime Stoppers at 800-222-TIPS (8477).

Editor’s note: The LASD inmate system listed Garcia’s age as 50, but the Sheriff’s Information Bureau news release listed Garcia’s age as 60.

    I know all people involved in this horrible incident…Trini was mine and my boyfriend’s friend. If we ever needed anything he never hesitated to help. He never was inappropriate with me nor do I think he would ever do anything to a woman without her consent. Young woman you say….she was near 40 years old and had no problem with him around her to bring her money, smokes or other things we won’t speak on. I feel bad for Mike’s girl and he should not have been killed. But it also leaves out the fact that they were trying to cut trinis hands off with a machete first….then the other passenger in trini’s vehicle opened fire not Trini himself. So the main thing here is unless you were the individuals involved. Keep your tweeker gossip to yourselves because innocent lives are being ruined over the good ol’ AV days of our lives…

    What I don’t understand how it can be called mutual combat an trnidad Garcia gets to walk free from killing a man an another who may never use his arm again,when the other two didn’t have a gun ,the whole conversation over trnidad Garcia ,breaks in an is fondaling,a young woman, an it’s not the first time an nothing is done about it ,an two men that tryed to just get him away from the others, shoots them ,this just makes me sick an my friend no longer has a life with Michael Robbins, an they were going to get married , God help us all ,if this is the new laws on the books.
