In 2005 a team of entrepreneurs started rentahitman.com to advertise…wait for it…a cyber security startup company.

The company failed. Rentahitman.com remained. During the next decade, people tried to use the website for murder-for-hire services. The authors transformed it into a parody page that showcased false testimonials from people who claimed they used it to find hitmen. The website also (sarcastically) advertised for hired killers.

Enter Josiah Ernesto Garcia, 21, of Hermitage, Tenn.

According to a statement that the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Middle District of Tennessee published Friday, Garcia needed money to support his family and, in February, used rentahitman.com.

“Garcia submitted an employment inquiry indicating he was interested in obtaining employment as a hit man. Garcia followed up on this initial request and submitted other identification documents and a resume, indicating he was an expert marksman and employed in the Air National Guard since July 2021. The resume also indicated Garcia was nicknamed ‘Reaper,’ which was earned from military experience and marksmanship.  Garcia continued to follow up with the website administrator indicating that he wanted to go to work as soon as possible,” U.S. Attorney’s said.

“An FBI undercover agent then began communicating with Garcia who subsequently agreed to kill an individual for $5,000.  On Wednesday, Garcia met the undercover agent at a park in Hendersonville, Tennessee, and was provided with a target packet of a fictional individual, which included photographs and other information about the individual to be killed, and a down payment of $2,500.  After agreeing to the terms of the murder arrangement, Garcia asked the agent if he needed to provide a photograph of the dead body. Garcia was then arrested by FBI agents.”

Late last week, U.S. Attorney’s charged Garcia with the use of interstate facilities in the commission of murder for hire. If convicted, he faces up to 10 years in prison.
