Student stabbed to death during spring break trip
BROWNSVILLE (AP) — A college student was stabbed to death early Saturday while on spring break at South Padre Island.
David Garcia, 23, a kinesiology student from Alamo, separated from friends about 4 a.m. and met a man who stabbed him in the neck, said Cameron County Chief Park Ranger Gus Reyna.
Garcia was taken by ambulance about 25 miles to Brownsville's Columbia Valley Regional Medical Center where he was pronounced dead, the Brownsville Herald reported in today's editions.
Police were looking for a heavyset man wearing a white muscle T-shirt under a Hawaiian shirt. He was last seen driving a green Jeep Cherokee, Reyna said.
Could be the student wanted to do some field work and the guy objected?
