Suspect in two separate murder cases appears in court
A Harlingen man accused in two separate murders appeared in court Thursday.
Anthony Eliff pled not guilty to the murder of Guillermo Garcia, whose body was discovered in a car with a gunshot wound to his chest in February 2020.
Court documents say the two allegedly got into a fight before the shooting. Surveillance cameras captured someone firing at Garcia outside a Harlingen home.
