Melvin Deras-Flores is wanted for the homicide of Chrystian Lopez-Yanez. According to PACER records, several individuals got involved in an altercation at an apartment complex. Melvin then allegedly stabbed Chrystian to death and wounded a second man.
After being charged with murder and attempted murder, the FBI determined that Melvin presumably fled to either St. Paul, Minnesota or El Salvador. The FBI then issued a federal warrant for Unlawful Flight To Avoid Prosecution.
Based on crime location, it is advised to contact the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department at 702-828-3111 if you have any information regarding Melvin Deras-Flores's whereabouts.

Thoughts? As of today, October 15, 2023, Melvin has a warrant flag in Las Vegas's court records database. His UFAP case is still active in PACER.
I hope that Chrystian's family will get the justice and answers they deserve.
