White County, IN – Miguel Ibarguren, 44, of Miami, Florida, was found guilty of the 2022 murder of Aristides Garcia, 63, of Los Angeles, California. Garcia’s body was discovered near Interstate 65, leading to a multi-state investigation.

Garcia, a truck driver, was reported missing in Iowa after his semi-truck was located without him. On March 8, 2022, highway workers found Garcia’s body near the 187.5-mile marker of I-65. Indiana State Police detectives quickly launched an investigation, uncovering that Ibarguren was Garcia’s co-driver. Authorities believe a fatal dispute occurred between the two drivers while on the road.

After gathering evidence, detectives issued an arrest warrant. Ibarguren was apprehended in Arlington, Texas, with the help of local law enforcement and extradited to Indiana. A White County jury returned a guilty verdict after a thorough presentation of evidence by the prosecution.

Sentencing is scheduled for next month. Ibarguren faces the possibility of life in prison for the murder conviction.
