Weekend standoff suspect who Fresno Police shot at identified

FRESNO, Calif. (KFSN) -- The man who got into a standoff with police over the weekend in east central Fresno has been identified as 23-year-old Andrew Garcia.

Fresno police say Garcia was wanted in connection with a traffic stop on Friday night.

Garcia is a parolee, after serving time for domestic violence and weapons charges.

Officers found him Sunday afternoon in a friend's home on Turner and Recreation avenues, that's when he tried to get away again, hopping in a car.

Video captured the suspect driving a black car and crashing into a neighbor's patio.

At some point during the incident, police say Garcia got out of the car and pointed a gun at them.

That's when an officer fired, missing him.

A standoff then ensued between police and Garcia, which carried on for hours.
