Juan Marcos Lucas is wanted for three counts of gross vehicular manslaughter. According to Newspapers.com archives, authorities allege that he was driving while intoxicated when he struck another vehicle. As a result, 31-year old Ray Mendonca, his 28-year old wife, Margaret and their six-month old son, Jess were all killed.
Another occupant of Lucas's vehicle was originally thought to have been the driver. However tests later identified Lucas as the alleged driver. He was charged a week after the crash but had already fled.
Based on crime location, it is advised to contact the Butte County Sheriff's Office at 530-538-7321 if you have any information on Juan Marcos Lucas's whereabouts.

Thoughts? As of today, May 18, 2024, Lucas has an active manslaughter case in Butte County's court records database from 1993. The only entry is from 2016 when I assume the files were uploaded electronically. Lucas appeared in the Chico Enterprise Record's Most Wanted feature over the years, most recently in 2019.
I hope that the Mendonca family can finally get justice and accountability in this awful case. Something really needs to be done as far as arresting and prosecuting Lucas.
