Two men were arrested Thursday by the Elkhart County Homicide Unit on charges of murder in relation to the Oct. 20 death of a Bristol man.
Arrested were Carlos Escobar-Escobedo, 19, of Aurora, Illinois, and Luis Garcia, 21, Elkhart.
According to a statement from the Elkhart County Prosecutor’s Office, the men are accused of the murder of Joshua Roberts, 21, Bristol, who was found dead at 7:45 p.m. Oct. 20 in a single-vehicle crash at Timberbrook Mobile Home Park in Bristol.
“Due to the nature of some of the injuries observed on Mr. Roberts’ body, the Elkhart County Homicide Unit assumed responsibility of the scene,” the statement reads.
On Oct. 21, a forensic autopsy was performed at the Homer Stryker School of Medicine located at the University of Western Michigan and the cause of death was determined to be a gunshot wound, according to the release.
Two men connected to the killing of a Bristol man in 2020 where each sentenced to 40 years in prison during Elkhart County Circuit Court proceedings Thursday.
Luis Garcia, 22, Elkhart, and Carlos Escobar Escobedo, 20, Aurora, Illinois, each appeared before Judge Michael Christofeno for sentencing hearings in their cases early Thursday morning.
A jury trial for the two men had been scheduled for March 21, though the trial was later dropped after the two entered guilty pleas in December 2021 to the robbery resulting in serious bodily injury charge, a Level 2 felony, as well as a penalty enhancement for use of a firearm during the robbery. As a stipulation of their plea agreements, the murder charge was dropped for both men.
