Miguel Valdez-Salgado is wanted for the homicide of 26-year old Manuel Esquivel Sanchez. Authorities say that Manuel was in a vehicle when Miguel drove up next to them. Authorities then allege that Miguel fired gunshots into the other vehicle, striking Manuel. Manuel was driven to a hospital where he died from his injuries.
Miguel was identified as the suspect a few days later and a warrant was issued for his arrest. According to a new news article, Miguel is believed to have fled the US and the case has gone cold.
Based on crime location, it is advised to contact the Colorado Springs Police Department at 719-444-7000 if you have any information on Miguel's whereabouts.

Thoughts? As of today, May 19, 2023, Miguel is confirmed to still be at large based on a news article from Tuesday (May 16, 2023). I checked PACER and did not see an UFAP (Unlawful Flight To Avoid Prosecution) case for Miguel.
I hope that Manuel's family will get the justice that they deserve. Miguel won't be an easy fugitive to find, but hopefully the news article can generate some new leads. It's really good that there is in fact renewed publicity on this case. The reason is that cold case fugitive cases rarely seem to get renewed publicity unless it's a well-known case.
