Tenn. National Guardsman Arrested After Allegedly Seeking Assassin Job on Parody Website RentAHitman.com

Authorities arrested a Tennessee Air National Guardsman who allegedly responded to a murder-for-hire request on a parody website called RentAHitman.com.
According to the U.S. District Attorney's Office Middle District of Tennessee, Josiah Ernesto Garcia has been charged with use of interstate facilities in the commission of murder-for-hire.
Attorney information for Garcia was not immediately available and it's unclear if he entered a plea to the charge.
Citing the criminal complaint, the DA's office alleges Garcia, a 21-year-old employed by the Air National Guard since July 2021, met with an undercover FBI agent Wednesday in what he believed was a deal to kill someone for money.
Authorities say Garcia needed funds to support his family, so he allegedly began searching for mercenary jobs online in February.
He then came across the parody website, RentAHitman.com, which advertises fake hitman services. The website also provides fake intake forms where people can request services or apply to be a hitman.

Authorities say Garcia applied for a hitman position, submitting his resume, in which he allegedly described himself as an "expert marksman" in the military whose nickname was "Reaper," the release reads.
