As detectives continued to investigate, they were able to find the van that matched the CCTV footage in
Pompano Beach, the report said.
When deputies looked inside the van through its windows, the report said, they saw large amounts of blood between the driver's and passenger's front seat, a woman's purse and a pink cellphone that was also covered in blood.
Deputies said the van had a for-sale sign with a number that matched a call made to 911 that was placed on Sunday.
In that call, an operator said a male was hitting a woman and the line was disconnected, the report said.
Deputies were able to find the registered owner of the van and he provided them with a sworn statement that he recently sold the van.
The following day, detectives made contact with Garcia and during a search, they found a glass pipe that tested positive for methamphetamine, the report said.
The report also said Garcia was found wearing socks that had blood stains and he also had dried blood stains on his hands.
Deputies then took Garcia into custody.
The victim remains in critical condition.
