Police seek suspects in midday fatal shooting in Montgomery Village


Montgomery County police are seeking the public's help in identifying and locating the shooter and anyone else involved in a fatal shooting in Montgomery Village this past Friday, November 10, 2023. At the height of the weekday lunch hour at 12:26 PM, police were called to investigate the sound of gunfire in the 18400 block of Lost Knife Circle, near the Cider Mill Apartments and a busy shopping center (which includes my favorite Little Caesar's in Montgomery County). Arriving at the scene, officers eventually found two men suffering from gunshot wounds.

One victim was transported to a local hospital in critical condition, but the second, Alan Garnica of Gaithersburg, was tragically pronounced dead at the scene. Garnica was located about twenty minutes after the initial call at a separate location on the same block.

The suspect(s) remain at large. Lost Knife Circle is one of the highest-crime areas in Montgomery County, and has been for many years.

Detectives from the Montgomery County Department of Police – Major Crimes Division are asking for anyone with a home security system, to review video footage, and contact Major Crimes detectives at (240) 773-5070 with any evidence regarding this shooting.

Anyone with information regarding suspect(s) or this crime is asked to visit the Crime Solvers of Montgomery County, MD website at www.crimesolversmcmd.org and click on the “www.p3tips.com” link at the top of the page or call 1-866-411-8477.  A reward of up to $10,000 is being offered for information that leads to the arrest of the suspects. Tips may remain anonymous.
