Thoughts? As of this posting date (March 22nd, 2020), Lopez is still listed on the LAPD most wanted website, which granted is not the most updated website and has mainly cold case fugitives only, but since it still a functioning website enough for me to reasonably assume that he is probably still wanted as of this update. If that status has changed or changes in the future, anyone is more than welcome to let us know.
Also I put 2002 or 2003 as the warrant year since the LAPD website says Lopez was 42 when charged and he was born in 1960. So it obviously has to be 2002 or 2003.
