(Above photo credit: Silent Observer website) Race: Hispanic DOB: 10/02/85 Height: 5'8 Weight: 140 lbs Hair: Black Eyes: Brown Marks: 2 inch scar above right eyebrow --- On February 13, 2005, Edgar Lopez and Dipak Patel were shot to death in a Grand Rapids, Michigan home. Authorities think the murders may have been drug-related because the home was raided by vice investigators a month earlier. Miguel Vidana, who was recently convicted in a 2010 drug-related homicide was also believed to have been involved in the 2005 murders. In addition, Ricardo is wanted for weapons violations. Ricardo Fabela is believed to have fled to Texas. Based on investigating agencies, any information on this fugitive's whereabouts should be forwarded to Silent Observer at 774-2345.Moderator Note: If you have any news-related updates on this case, please contact us here: amwfans.com/thread/1662/website-contact-form ---Thoughts? The good news is that it's possible that Ricardo Fabela is still hiding out in Texas and not Latin America, which would make finding him much earlier. Even though Edgar and Dipak's murders may have been drug-related, Ricardo had no right to take their lives. www.silentobserver.org/wantedwww.mlive.com/news/grand-rapids/index.ssf/2013/05/after_two_hung_juries_third_tr.html

As of June 6th, 2018, Fabela is still listed on Michigan's Silent Observer website as a wanted fugitive. (Same link as in HeadMarshal's OP).

As of today January 6, 2020, the Silent Observer website has gone through a revamp. Harold Knight is still listed there for instance but not Ricardo Fabela. As far as I can tell, Ricardo is still wanted since I don't see any news articles on an arrest or any case updates, but any confirming information can always be sent through our website contact form.

As of today, August 19, 2020, Ricardo Fabela's 2005 Unlawful Flight to Avoid Prosecution case in PACER is not closed. The only updates from 2014 and 2015 were that the case was re-assigned from a court perspective, not because Ricardo was arrested or that the UFAP case was dismissed.
Therefore we know that Ricardo is officially still at large.
