Carlos Mendez Flores is wanted for the homicide of 23-year old Jesse Alvarado. Carlos drove to Jesse's residence and allegedly shot Jesse to death as the victim opened the door. The motive was to avenge the death of Carlos's brother a month earlier. Carlos may have fled to Mexico. At the time of the crime, authorities were also looking to question another man.
Based on crime location, it is advised to contact the LAPD Van Nuys Community Police Station at 818-374-9500 if you have any information on Carlos Mendez Flores's whereabouts.

Thoughts? As of today, January 27, 2024, Los Angeles County's court records database shows no update in Carlos's custody status since a warrant was set. There is also no disposition in his case so we know for sure that he is still at large. I checked PACER and did not see a UFAP (Unlawful Flight To Avoid Prosecution) case for him.
Regardless of whether Jesse had anything to do with Carlos's brothers death or not, allegedly murdering Jesse is not acceptable. I am sorry that Carlos's brother was killed but that is something that law enforcement should handle as far as an investigation. I do hope that Jesse's family gets the justice and accountability they deserve.
