The FBI alleges Josiah Ernesto Garcia used a site called 'Rent-a-Hitman' to apply for a job as an assassin. Garcia was arrested at a park in Hendersonville, Tennessee, by an undercover agent.
A 21-year-old Air National Guardsman in Tennessee is facing federal charges after sending his resume to a nefariously-named site — all because he said he needed money to support his family, court documents said.
The Air National Guard confirmed to CBS News that Garcia joined as an airman first class in July 2021. "I was looking into civilian law enforcement but that's not for me," he told the agent, according to the criminal complaint."I wanted something more exciting." He would eventually agree to kill an individual for $5,000. On Wednesday, Garcia met the undercover agent at a park and was provided with information on a fictional individual, including photographs and a down payment of $2,500.
