Written by City News Service - A man suspected of shooting a 22-year-old man in the chest in the front yard of the victim's Whittier home turned himself into authorities today, police said.
   Whittier police officials identified the suspect as Augustin Garcia, 27, of Whittier, according to the San Gabriel Valley Tribune.
   The shooting occurred at 9 p.m. Saturday in the 5800 block of Ben Alder Avenue, said Whittier police Officer Brad White.
   Officers responded to a call of shots fired in the area, White said.
   ``When officers arrived, they located a 22-year-old male lying in the front yard of his residence with what appeared to be a single gunshot wound to his chest,'' he said.
   The victim was transported to County USC Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead, said coroner's Investigator Joseph Cronin.
   His name was withheld because his next of kin had not been notified, but Gloria Alvarado, 22, who said she was his girlfriend, told The Tribune that his name was Richard Mationg, who lived at the Ben Alder address with his family for about 12 years.
   Friends who gathered at a makeshift memorial at the shooting scene said they did not know the suspect, but police believe he and the victim knew one another, the newspaper reported.
   Mationg was working his way up to manager at the CVS pharmacy where he worked and had just purchased a new 2012 Dodge Avenger, Alvarado said.
   ``He was the funniest person ever,'' she told The Tribune. ``He gave good advice. He was a really good guy.''
   Garcia was arrested at 1:50 p.m. at Whittier police headquarters, where he was being held in lieu of $1 million bail, according to sheriff's online booking records.
