Jayveon Caballero- Vermont- 2017 (CAPTURED)

Thoughts? First of all the above article is a little misleading, as this was Montpelier's first SHOOTING since 2011. This was actually Montpelier's first alleged MURDER in nearly 100 years! (The last homicide was the 1920's when a woman shot her husband): www.foxnews.com/us/2017/01/23/suspect-sought-in-vermont-capitals-first-murder-in-nearly-100-years.html

This is added to the fact is it extremely rare to see a Vermont fugitive in general on this forum (the most infamous case being now deceased rapist Philip Jackman.) Obviously though, if you're the family of Markus Austin, he was more than just a footnote in Vermont history to them, he was a family member and the man who allegedly took him away from them is still on the loose.

As for Caballero, eyewitness accounts say Austin assaulted his girlfriend. Caballero had every right to be upset initially if that's true. But the problem is he didn't shoot him during that altercation and during the heat of the moment (not that I'd excuse that of course), but allegedly two hours later in a parking lot. That's what makes this a homicide case and not a manslaughter case.

I also will admit though eyewitnesses witnessed the initial fight, but none of them saw what happened two hours later (at least articles don't say so). Caballero, despite running and despite the accounts in articles, still has the right to be considered innocent until proven guilty. Perhaps he has his own side to the story as to what down in that parking lot that he'd want to tell if asked. However, rather than defend himself, he chose to go in the run. The best thing he could do for himself would be to turn himself in imo.

Also, as far as whereabouts are concerned, articles say he has ties to Florida. I found his Facebook which mentions being from Red Hook, New York (Upstate New York) and his Twitter shows his location as Deltona, Florida along with Vermont:
