VIDEO: Farmington police respond to noise complaint at home where 11-year-old was allegedly killed months before

FARMINGTON, Conn. (WTNH) — New information reveals that police responded to four noise complaints at the Farmington home of Karla Garcia between September 2024 and February 2025, around the same time as her 11-year-old daughter, Jacqueline “Mimi” Torres-Garcia’s, death.

Garcia did not report Torres-Garcia missing during any of the times she interacted with police, according to the arrest warrant,

which also says Garcia believes Torres-Garcia was deceased and in the basement when officers were at the house in December.

Garcia admitted her daughter died sometime in her bed, but she wasn’t sure when exactly. Nanita had found her not breathing, then moved her body to the basement, according to the arrest warrant. 

Officers only interacted with the family on one occasion out of the four complaints, which was captured on bodycam footage shown below.

New Britain police said Jacqueline was severely malnourished at the time of her death, only weighing about 26 or 27 pounds, and had likely been dead for a year before she was found in the tote bin outside of an abandoned New Britain house.

Jacqueline’s mother, Karla Garcia, her aunt, Jackelyn Garcia, and Karla’s boyfriend, Jonatan Nanita, have all been charged in connection with her death.

Nanita was charged with murder with special circumstances, conspiracy to commit murder with special circumstances, risk of injury to a minor, unlawful restraint and intentional cruelty to a child.

Karla Garcia has been charged with murder with special circumstances, conspiracy to commit murder with special circumstances, risk of injury to a minor, first-degree unlawful restraint, intentional cruelty to a child under the age of 19, tampering with evidence and improper disposal of a dead body.  

Jackelyn Garcia has been charged with cruelty to persons, first-degree unlawful restraint, first-degree reckless endangerment and four counts of risk of injury.
