A former dean at a New York City high school who was also the leader of a violent street in the Bronx was sentenced to life in prison for killing a man on the street in a turf battle over drug trafficking, prosecutors announced.
Garcia, also known as “Shorty Rock,” was formerly the leader of the Get Money Gunnaz, which is part of the larger Young Gunnaz street gang, prosecutors said. Garcia led the group for more than a decade, during which time he was in control of the distribution of drugs in the area of East 184th Street and Morris Avenue in Fordham Heights, according to court documents.
