Synopsis: Jorge Luis Esparza Arvizu (2-14-54) is wanted for the murder of Mario Rinaldi that occurred on November 23, 1976. There is an outstanding felony warrant charging Arvizu with 187(a) P.C. (Murder).
Jorge Arvizu, also known as Jorge Esparza, was described as a Hispanic male, 5'8" and 135 pounds at the time of the crime. He was a heroin addict and burglar known on the streets as "Sucker."
The murder for which Arvizu is charged occurred at the Green Valley Market at 28th Street & National Avenue in San Diego. The victim, Marion Rinaldi, was working as a clerk at the market when Arvizu walked in. Arvizu loitered in and around the store for some time without buying anything. Then, for no apparent reason, Arvizu suddenly attacked Rinaldi and stabbed him several times in the back. Rinaldi stumbled out of the market and collapsed on the sidewalk, where he died. Arvizu fled the scene. Arvizu was subsequently arrested by U.S. Immigration officers and released back to Mexico; it was only after he disappeared into Mexico that he was identified as a suspect in this case.
Based on wanted location, our advice for anyone with information regarding the whereabouts of Jorge Arvizu, then contact the San Diego Police Crimestoppers at 888-580-TIPS.

Thoughts? 40 years after the murder of Marion Rinaldi, Jorge might have since returned to the US as we've seen some other cold case fugitives that initially go back to Mexico. He might have died from his heroin addiction and if he would have died in Mexico, then finding his body and confirming it is going to be next to impossible. Hopefully we can still get some answers and close this case.
