A passer-by found the body of Christina Garcia in a brushy field behind a Smart & Final store in the 3100 block of Main Street in Chula Vista about 6:30 a.m. Aug. 5, according to Chula Vista Police.

Who killed Garcia and what prompted the slaying remain unanswered questions.

“Currently, the circumstances of the case and (a) possible motive for the homicide remain uncertain,” Lt. Dan Peak said Thursday afternoon.
