Édgar Arturo García de Dios (1 September 1977 – 27 June 2010) was a Mexican professional footballer who played as a forward.
Born in Mexico City, García made his debut with Atlante F.C. in the Mexico First Division in the 1995–96 season. He then moved to play in Toluca, and Verano.[1] After a brief season in LASK in Second Division in Austria, he returned for season 1999–2000 to play with Tecos UAG.[2]
He was a son of Arturo and Margarita García. As of 2002, García did not play professional football anymore after he had become an alcoholic, effectively ending his football career prematurely.[3]
García was shot with seven bullets at close range while in a taxi cab in Naucalpan. The motives of the killing are not clear.[4]
