From Boston.com:
Lowell police are searching for a 20-year-old man who has been charged with murder in connection with the shooting death of a 23-year-old Boston woman earlier this week.
In addition to murder, Xavier DeJesus, of Lowell, is being charged with discharging a firearm within 500 feet of a dwelling, carrying a firearm without a license, and possession of ammunition without an FID card, the Middlesex County District Attorney’s Office said in a news release.
Authorities believe that DeJesus shot Deija Mendez around 3:30 p.m. Tuesday as she sat in the driver’s seat of a black Chevrolet Tahoe parked outside a home on Coral Street. The two may have known each other and allegedly had “a dispute over the possession of a motor vehicle” prior to the shooting, the release said.
When Lowell police found Mendez, she was suffering from a gunshot wound to the head and was pronounced dead at the scene.
DeJesus is around 5-foot-7 and 140 pounds. Anyone who sees him is urged to call 911 or Lowell police at 978-459-8477, and should not approach him.

Thoughts? Based on the above article's posting date, DeJesus was still at large at least as of June 26th, 2020.
UPDATE: On July 2nd, 2020, DeJesus was added to the Massachusetts State Police Most Wanted list. According to the listing, anyone with information on his whereabouts can now also immediately call the State Police Violent Fugitive Apprehension Section at (800) 527-8873, (508) 820-2121
