The outlet continued:
One of the hired guns testified that Garcia offered an extra $2,500 if his wife was killed before the coupleâs next court hearing in a lawsuit she had filed against him.
PĂ©rez had filed for divorce from her husband after she accused him of trying to kill her when he beat her with a baseball bat in January 2019. She was in Mexico City for a scheduled hearing when she was fatally shot by a motorcyclist, authorities said.
