Ezequiel Maldonado is wanted for the homicide of 33-year old Ronald Johnson. Ronald was at a party in an apartment complex when an argument and fight broke out. During the fight, Ezequiel and an accomplice allegedly shot Ronald to death.
Ezequiel's accomplice was quickly arrested according to King County's inmate search. Criminal charges were quickly filed for Ezequiel as well, according to the county court records database. A failure to appear entry for Ezequiel was filed as a case event on January 7, 2021. The charges for Ezequiel include an allegation of criminal street gang activity and sadly, an enhancement of murdering Ronald because of his race.
Ezequiel's mother was also arrested as an accessory to Ronald's homicide. This included telling her son on where to flee to.
Based on crime location, it is advised to contact the Hanford Police Department at 559-585-2540 if you have any information on Ezequiel's whereabouts.

Thoughts? As of today, September 23, 2023, Ezequiel's homicide case in Kings County's court records database is listed as "open" with no events since the failure to appear entry. This means that he is unfortunately still a fugitive.
It is extremely concerning that Ronald was murdered because of his race. It is even more concerning that the fugitive status of Ezequiel has not gotten the publicity I feel it should. I really want Ronald's family to get justice and accountability.
