Christopher Barrera is wanted for the homicides of 18-year old Felix Valerio Jr. and 19-year old Clarisol Guajardo. According to a document in the Dallas County Court Documents database, authorities allege that Christopher was one of two men who committed a drive-by shooting with two rifles, killing Felix and Clarisol. Newslibrary archives mentioned that the shooting took place at a baptism party.
Christopher would be arrested for the homicides but violated the terms of his bail agreement in October of 1996. A warrant for two counts of Capital Murder was then issued. The FBI issued a warrant for Unlawful Flight To Avoid Prosecution in 1998 after they determined that Christopher fled the state of Texas for an unknown destination. There was an order for the federal charge to be dismissed in 2011 but no explanation was given.
Based on crime location, it is advised to contact North Texas Crime Stoppers at 1-877-373-TIPS (8477) if you have any information on Christopher Barrera's whereabouts.

Thoughts? As of today, April 26, 2022, the capital murder warrant for Christopher Barrera is actually showing as active in the Dallas County Court Records database. There is also no disposition and no uploaded court documents since 1997. Not sure why the UFAP warrant was dismissed although I suspect it may have been because of a lack of leads in the manhunt and to conserve court resources.
This is a really underrated case in my view and the families of Felix and Clarisol deserve justice. Authorities in Dallas probably haven't gotten many leads if any in recent years on this manhunt, but hopefully there can be renewed publicity someday.
