Race/Ethnicity: Hispanic

(As for Esatnisiao Morales, the only information we currently have is his date of birth is 11/13/1962 as he was removed from the Rhode Island State Police website. If anyone has any updates such as height, weight etc.. please feel free to email and/or message us).
Julio Merida is wanted in connection with a double homicide and Esatnisiao Morales is wanted as an accessory to the crime. As far as I can tell, they were never on AMW.
According to archived google news articles, on October 18, 1987 there was a brawl at a soccer match in Providence, Rhode Island. During the brawl, authorities say Julio Merida shot and killed 29-year old Douglas Leon and 24-year old Byron Velle. What role Esatnisiao Morales exactly played as an accessory to the double homicide is unclear. The two were indicted in 1988.
Thoughts? The Rhode Island Cold Cases Website mentions that Morales was born in Mexico City so he probably returned there. Merida probably also fled to Mexico.

, that these guys could still have continued to attend soccer matches. Soccer is nowhere near as popular in America as it is in other parts of the world- and brawls are or used to be commonplace in other countries- so it's just really weird to me to hear about a U.S. Soccer match way back in the 1980's before there was even an established national league (which isn't even that popular itself aside from when David Beckham played in Los Angeles)- let alone one with a brawl. It's been a while. Chances are perhaps they can get one- but unlikely they can get both.
