Jose Allegre Rodriguez, 33, was found dead July 1. Police discovered Rodriguez's decomposing body in a crawl space after responding to neighbors' report of a bad smell at the house in Hialeah.
Garcia lived across the street, but police said they have not seen him.
Neighbors told WFOR-TV they believed Rodriguez was having an affair with Garcia's common-law wife. She said she knew him "only as a neighbor," the report said.
