College Student Googles His Name, Discovers He Is Wanted For Murder

A University of Florida student was shocked after searching his name on Google and discovering he was wanted for murder. Zachary Garcia said he found his name and driver’s license photo online along with information that he was wanted by Polk County authorities for a robbery and murder that took place on September 23.

"I was just very shocked to find my picture and the article saying that I was convicted of a felony murder charge. And I was just very shocked and angry that someone put my name up there and said I did something I didn't do,” Garcia told Tampa Bay news station WTSP.

It turns out that a slight spelling mistake led to the confusion and Zachery Garcia (spelled with an “e”) is wanted for murder and not Zachary Garcia (spelled with an "a"). Authorities released the wrong Garcia’s information and photo.

"Everybody makes mistakes, I mean I work at Publix and I might get somebody's sub wrong. But for somebody to get, you know, that wrong? It's not a sandwich, you know, it's somebody's life you're playing with,” added Zachary.
