A Tennessee Air National Guardsman was recently arrested and charged with taking part in a murder-for-hire scheme after he allegedly applied to be a hit man on a parody website and accepted a contract to kill someone.

Twenty-one-year-old Josiah Ernesto Garcia was charged on Thursday, April 13 after he allegedly accepted a $2,500 down payment from an undercover FBI agent to kill someone. According to a criminal complaint filed in the Middle District of Tennessee, Garcia needed money to support his family and, in mid-February, began searching online for contract mercenary jobs before he came across the website www.rentahitman.com.
