Murdered on her wedding day...

Gladys Ricart was born in October 1960 in the Dominican Republic and moved to the United States in 1983 to attend college in the Bronx. After struggling financially, she found work as an accountant through a welfare program and built a stable life for herself and her son. In 1993, she began dating businessman Agustin Garcia, but their relationship was volatile and abusive, leading to multiple breakups. By 1999, Gladys had moved on and became engaged to James Preston, planning a large September wedding. On her wedding day, Garcia entered her home under the guise of offering congratulations but instead shot and killed her in front of family and friends. The murder was captured on video and witnessed by many, leaving no doubt about his guilt. Garcia’s defense argued he acted out of passion provocation, but evidence showed he had stalked and threatened Gladys. In 2002, he was convicted of murder and sentenced to life in prison, with the possibility of parole in 2029.
