The defendant pleaded guilty last week to the 2008 murder of his cousin, 33-year-old Sandra Rincon. She was strangled and stabbed 35 times when prosecutors say Garcia was trying to steal money to buy cocaine.
Garcia was on supervised release for a 1999 bank robbery conviction when Rincon was killed.
Lopez says investigators are looking into the security breach.
