The 41-year-old Markel, whose family still lives in Toronto, was well known in national and international legal circles. Investigators contend that Garcia and another man followed Markel from a nearby gym before he was shot, court documents say. When asked Thursday, police would not say whether this was a murder for hire — only that Markel was targetted. The shooting of a Toronto-born law professor in his upscale Talahassee neighborhood two years ago was part of a murder-for-hire scheme that may have been set in motion by a bitter divorce between Daniel Markel and his ex-wife, according to court records released Thursday. Garcia's lawyer, Jim Lewis, says his client will plead not guilty to the murder charge filed against him.
