Thoughts? As of this posting date (March 24th, 2020), Roque 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 1997 or 1998 as the warrant year since the LAPD website says Vargas was 24 when charged and he was born in 1973. So it obviously has to be 1997 or 1998.
Also I realize the victims were not exactly innocent themselves but gang murder fugitives also often wind up killing innocent bystanders and bringing overall violence to the neighborhood which is why it's still important to bring Vargas to justice if he is in fact still at large and in his late 40's still relatively young enough to be allegedly violent.
