Jonathan Romero is wanted for the homicide of 18-year old David Manriquez. Authorities say that Jonathan broke into his ex-girlfriend's home and allegedly shot David to death. David was the new boyfriend of Jonathan's ex-girlfriend.
According to a PACER document, an anonymous tip claimed that David fled to Redondo Beach, California with relatives. The FBI issued a federal warrant for Unlawful Flight To Avoid Prosecution on August 14, 2008.
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 Jonathan Romero's whereabouts.

Thoughts? As of today, December 9, 2023, Jonathan has a warrant flag in Las Vegas's court records database. The state charges are for murder, attempted murder and burglary. It's not clear what the attempted murder charge is for. I assume that another occupant of the home was either shot and wounded or was shot at. The UFAP case is still active in PACER.
I personally think that Jonathan has since left the state of California if he did in fact flee there initially. Otherwise he would have most likely been arrested by now. I hope that David's family can get the justice and answers that they deserve.
