Juan Jose Santoyo-Gomez is wanted for the homicide of 21-year old Miguel Ruiz. According to Newspapers.com archives, Juan was driving and allegedly rammed Miguel's vehicle intentionally. Miguel's car then collided with a fire truck. Miguel was tragically killed and his two passengers were injured, one of them being a 17-year old girl that was left in a coma for an unspecified period of time.
Juan has been a fugitive ever since and is believed to have fled to Mexico.
Based on crime location, it is advised to contact the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department Apple Valley station at 760-240-7400 if you have any information on Juan Jose Santoyo-Gomez's whereabouts.

Thoughts? As of today, December 26, 2023, Juan's felony case in San Bernardino County's court records database is in warrant status with no filings since 1995. I checked PACER and did not see a UFAP (Unlawful Flight To Avoid Prosecution) case for Juan.
Thanks to the Rio Grande Valley homicide survivors support group for advising me about the Remini app. The app allows you to use AI to retouch old photos. This gives us an approximately better image of old newspaper photos which are often not of the best quality. Investigators generally have the original photos of the fugitives, but most of these old cases have not been publicized in the digital internet era.
I hope that Miguel's family can finally get the justice and accountability they deserve.
