From the Albuquerque Journal (abqjournal.com):
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — A California man has been indicted in the triple shooting that killed a 14-year-old boy and wounded two others outside a southeast Albuquerque Dion’s in 2017.
Derreck Flocco, 29, is charged with shooting at or from a motor vehicle resulting in death in the slaying of Martin Recio Jr., according to an indictment filed in Bernalillo County District Court.
Flocco is not in custody but there is a warrant out for his arrest.
Recio and two of his friends were shot in a Dion’s parking lot, near Gibson and University SE, on the night of July 21. Recio later died at a hospital and no arrests were made.
According to court records filed last week, Flocco shot all three boys during a drug deal. He also faces a charge of conspiracy to distribute marijuana.
“(Flocco) is know to be from California and has only very limited ties to New Mexico,” a prosecutor wrote. “The shooting occurred during an alleged drug transaction for which (Flocco) had traveled to New Mexico to oversee.”

Thoughts? As of this posting date (May 12th, 2020), Flocco still shows as having open warrants in Bernalillo County's online public access search: app.bernco.gov/warrants/Warrant.aspx
Flocco's listed date of birth 5/18/1989 so Flocco is now 30 years old going on 31 as of the aforementioned posting date
I should note I am abandoning a technicality that this site usually follows- articles need to mention the public's help is being sought- call if you have information on their whereabouts etc... in order for us to post the case.
However, it has been over a year and I frustratingly have seen no updates- I have wanted to post this tragic case for the longest time but couldn't because there wasn't even a photo in Flocco in the articles (it is important to show Martin's picture, but it's also important to show the suspect's picture to hopefully get justice)- I finally found photos of Flocco on old mugshot aggregate sites- but I have no idea how relevant they are to today as he was probably younger than 29 in those photos- all I know is I found the same date of birth in North Carolina inmate search where Flocco is listed as an absconder which along with the same somewhat unusual name seems to confirm it is the same man: webapps.doc.state.nc.us/opi/viewoffender.do?method=view&offenderID=1290964&searchLastName=flocco&searchFirstName=derreck&searchDOBRange=0&listurl=pagelistoffendersearchresults&listpage=1
So I assume call your local police or crime stoppers if you know Flocco's whereabouts, but I had to take it upon myself since it has frustratingly been over a year and I still see no advanced public effort to locate Flocco. Martin Recio Jr. was only 14-years-old and whatever trouble he may have been getting himself into- he didn't deserve to lose his life.
I hope by posting the manhunt for Flocco on our forum we can get some publicity- amazing I had to jump through all these hoops (as far as research goes) to even put together a thread a year later.
