Moderator Note: If you have any news-related updates on this case, please contact us here: amwfans.com/thread/1662/website-contact-form--- Thoughts? I found an 80 word article about this case on NewsLibrary since there's no other mention on the internet (like so many other cold case fugitives out of the Houston area). The mugshot we have of Rafael from 1986 indicates that he was in trouble with the law before Robert Rodriguez's murder. That means that he might have committed other violent crimes during the past 22 years. crime-stoppers.org/crime-database/9414164/

I'm looking up the Harris County search and it does say "case dismissed" in June 1994, however, that could just mean it was dismissed without prejudice since he was not in custody. All indications are he's still at large as of your posting date (11/20/2016) since I see nothing else regarding him further.

A small thing to mention about Rafael Antonio Montes and any other fugitive who's photo was in the Crime Stoppers of Houston database from approx. 2016-2017. I have tried numerous times to go through the pages of fugitive photos on their Crime Stoppers page, however only the first page out of 54 has been working for the past few months. So that's why a lot of links and photos aren't showing up for the fugitives I found a few years ago.
As of today, April 17, 2020, the murder case in the Harris County Court Records page still shows no movement since 1994. It's under the alias of "Rafael Lnu". Something else that's annoying is that lately I've had to input names twice into the Harris County database to pull up the court case listing. The first time never seems to work.
