Thoughts? As of this posting date (March 23rd, 2020), Orozco 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 while I realize the victim was not exactly innocent himself, murder is never justified unless in self-defense regardless of if the victim was a serial killer or choir boy as the law cannot be taken into one's own hands. The concern here is if Orozco is still our there as he allegedly committed his first known murder at only 17, which shows a concern for am escalation in alleged violence. So you can not feel sorry for the victim (not telling anyone how to feel) but still have a concern for the suspect's alleged violence.
