Francisco Antonio García López (July 19, 1943 – November 29, 1995), also known as Toño Bicicleta (literally, "Tony Bicycle" in English), was a Puerto Rican criminal who gained notoriety for escaping from prison several times.
García López managed to become part of Puerto Rican folklore and the object of constant references in popular culture.
According to Pérez, García stole some silver coins, food, a machete, a flashlight, and a Smith & Wesson .45 caliber gun.
Some of the women that were allegedly kidnapped by García during the 1970s were Luz Celenia Caraballo and Aurea Esther Camacho.
[1] On January 31, 1988, García killed Luis Rodríguez and kidnapped his 14-year-old girlfriend, Dahiana Pérez Lebrón.
In the morning of November 29, 1995, García was allegedly working in a coffee plantation in the Castañer ward of Lares, Puerto Rico.
[1] Despite the fact that he was a criminal, assassin and rapist, and some welcomed his death, thousands of people attended his funeral.
He had become a kind of legend[5] because of his constant appearance, during a 14-year period, in El Vocero, Puerto Rico's popular newspaper, at the time.
