Police had been searching for 38-year-old Marvin Cisneros Garcia since the crash happened on April 28. 

It was around 5:45 a.m. when a Chevrolet Colorado, allegedly driven by Garcia, collided with a Dodge Ram at the intersection of Northwest 95th Street and Northwest 17th Avenue, Miami-Dade police said.
