Garcia, 37, had been missing for two days and was found dead Sunday by his brother in his apartment in Colinas de Bello Monte, in southeast Caracas.
This was the second slaying of a journalist this month. Pierre Gerges, vicepresident of the "Diario Reporte de la Economia" newspaper, was shot dead in early June.
"As many Venezuelan families that receive the news of the deathof a loved one, today it is our turn to regret the painful and premature departure of a dear coworker and friend, a very respected journalist of this house", RCTV said in a communique.
The Public Prosecutor and the scientific police are investigating the crime, while the motive remains unclear.
