Nicholas Capanear is listed on the Pima County Attorney Office's website (AKA 88-CRIME) as one of their most wanted fugitives.
In 1991, Capanear was convicted by a Pima County Superior Court jury of the shooting death of his friend, Peter Jaworski. He also was convicted of burglary, aggravated assault and unlawful imprisonment stemming from the shooting incident at Jaworski's house. According to a pre-sentence report, Capanear borrowed a gun shortly before going to Jaworski's home. Capanear had been evicted from the house a few weeks earlier after an argument. When he arrived at the home during the early morning hours on the day of the murder, Capanear encountered Jaworski's girlfriend. He confronted her as she left to go buy cigarettes and told her that he only wanted to teach Jaworski a lesson, the report said.
It appears Capanear was granted parole in 2016. However, on January 26th, 2023, Arizona Department of Corrections online records show an absconder warrant was issued for Capanear.
As of today's posting date (August 11th, 2023), Capanear is also listed as wanted for probation violation- murder on the 88-Crime website.
It is unclear what caused the probation violation warrant to be issued.
Also please note if any of Peter's family ever find this site, I looked up newspapers.com to find the victim name in the case so their memory could be respected and they weren't just a nameless person in the case.
