 (Above photo credit: Yakima Crime Stoppers) Fugitive Profile as of April 18th, 2020: (Based on Yakima Crime Stoppers wanted suspect profile) Name: Trejo, Christopher Raul Gender: Male Race: Hispanic DOB: 07/23/1999 Age (as of 4/18/2020): 20 Height: 5ft10in Weight: 160 Hair: Black Eyes: Brown From Q13Fox Seattle (Washington's Most Wanted): WANTED IN WAPATO — A 14-year-old boy shot and killed in a park in Wapato. It wasn’t random. The Yakima County Sheriff’s Office, who’s investigating the case with Wapato Police, says the shooting at Lions Park last week was gang-related. Investigators think the accused killer, Christopher Trejo, could be hiding on either side of the state, or possibly in Oregon. “We believe that he should be considered ‘armed and dangerous.’ If you’re willing to shoot a 14-year-old, you may be willing to shoot anybody, so we need to get him in custody,” said Yakima County Sheriff’s Sgt. Jerrold Towell. Christopher Trejo is 19 years old, 5’10” and weighs 160 pounds. He has a nationwide warrant for 1st Degree Murder. If you spot him, or know where he is— call 911— then submit the tip to Crime Stoppers through the P3 Tips App on your smart phone that you can download for free, or by calling the hot line at 1-800-222-TIPS(8477).It’s anonymous — you never give your name — and you’ll get a cash reward of up to $1,000 if your tip helps lead to his arrest. q13fox.com/2019/04/19/christopher-trejo-wanted-murder-suspect-accused-of-shooting-teen-in-park-could-be-hiding-on-either-side-of-state/Thoughts? It should be noted the above is an archived article, however, as of this posting date (4/18/2020), Trejo is still listed as a wanted fugitive on Yakima Crime Stoppers, which is generally accurate and up-to-date, of course and as always, if anyone ever has any updates/proof-of-updates one way or the other, they are always more than welcome to let us know: www.crimestoppersyakco.org/sitemenu.aspx?ID=700&P=wanteds&Admin Note: If you have any (news-related) updates on this case, please contact us here: amwfans.com/thread/1662/website-contact-form |

As of today, February 16, 2021, Christopher Trejo's case entry in the Washington State Court Records database is classified as "on warrant". Additionally, I found an article where Carlos's mother said that her son was not a gang member. It should be noted that gang members kill innocent people all the time. I just bring this up because we do have cases on the site where teenagers are involved in either gangs and/or drugs. In any of these cases, these victims did not deserve to die whether they were simply at the wrong place at the wrong time, or if they made some bad decisions in their youth. www.yakimaherald.com/news/crime_and_courts/prayer-walk-brings-comfort-love-for-family-of-slain-wapato-boy/article_b40c9410-403a-5a65-ba31-e80df02c0925.htmlAlso I hope that Christopher Trejo can be aired on the revived AMW at some point. |

I really wish news articles would specify when they say "gang-related" as that could mean many things- mistaken identity, unintended target caught in crossfire, victims of initiations etc.. all count as gang-related but the first thing that will pop into people's heads is that both victim and suspect were in gangs.
With that being said, even in Carlos was in a gang, he would have still been only 14 years old with plenty of time to turn his life around and still with a family. The fact that Carlos's mother says he wasn't in a gang only makes this case even more tragic.

As of today, July 16, 2022, Christopher is still on the Yakima County Crime Stoppers Most Wanted website. I checked PACER and did not see an UFAP (Unlawful Flight To Avoid Prosecution) warrant for him.

It wouldn’t surprise me if he’s hiding out somewhere in Seattle, or Tacoma, or suburban Portland, OR and even in Oregon, there’s plenty of places to hide as Oregon has a few cities along I-5 like Portland, Salem, Eugene, and Medford where he could’ve settled down in since going on the run.
