Rock Springs Man Dies, 23 Year Old Arrested Charged With Murder

A 35 year old Rock Springs man died Tuesday afternoon following a shooting incident and a 23 year old man has been arrested and charged with second degree murder. Rock Springs police report that just before 2pm Tuesday, officers were dispatched to an apartment located at Country Club Apartment complex on Sage Street as a 911 caller reported a man bleeding from the head. Upon arrival, emergency personnel were directed to a second floor apartment where an adult male later identified as Micah William Carr, was discovered unresponsive, lying on the floor in the apartment. Police say lifesaving measures were attempted, but were unsuccessful and Carr was pronounced dead just after 2pm. Detectives from the Rock Springs police department responded to the scene at which time the apartment was secured for crime scene investigators. Police say the investigation led to the arrest of 23 year old Brandon Lee Garcia, who has been charged with second degree murder. An autopsy has been scheduled in Loveland Colorado. The investigation into the shooting is ongoing by the Rock Springs police department and the Sweetwater County Coroners office.

  1. This is the only site I have found reporting this as a shooting incident. Is this report accurate and was Micah's death the result of the shooting? Did Brandon Garcia allegedly shoot him?

  2. I have read that Micha's death was the result of blunt force trauma to the head, not a gun shot? Is there any proof that this was a shooting incident? I would like to have more information about this case. Whoever published this, would you please respond.
