Jose Omar Azua is wanted for the vehicular homicide of Lori Dudley. Authorities allege that Jose was driving while intoxicated when his vehicle collided with Lori's motorcycle. Lori was killed as a result of the impact and Jose never applied the brakes according to investigators. Jose was later seen 60 feet away from the crash scene and walking while talking on his cell phone.
Jose was arrested for Lori's vehicular homicide. It should be noted that Jose has a long record of driving infractions. In 2018, Jose failed to appear for a pretrial conference and a warrant was issued for his arrest. Jose told investigators that he was from Mexico.
Based on crime location, it is advised to contact the Lake County Sheriff's Office at 352-343-2101 if you have any information on Jose Omar Azua's whereabouts.

Thoughts? As of today, August 4, 2024, Jose has a listed warrant in Florida's statewide warrants database. I checked PACER and did not see a UFAP (Unlawful Flight To Avoid Prosecution) case for Jose.
As with similar vehicular homicide cases, there will be significant issues if Jose returned to Mexico. Despite the challenges with extraditing vehicular homicide defendants from foreign countries, I hope that there can be a resolution to this case.
