Additional summary of the case based on articles provided in OP post:
-The 25-year old man killed was Saul Lucas-Alfonso. A total of five men, the three aforementioned fugitives, a man named Byron Alvarez, and a 15-year old boy whose named was not released, were involved in his death. Charging documents indicate the five accused in Lucas-Alfonso’s death went out early Thursday to collect on a debt that Alvarez believed he was owed by another man. The man was also believed to be involved with Alvarez's wife.
The five allegedly broke into the debtor’s car, which was parked in an alley behind the 7000 block of South Puget Sound Avenue, and started ransacking it for valuables, the documents state. Lucas-Alfonso and two friends arrived in the alley, confronted the group of five suspects and a fight broke out. The 15-year-old boy told detectives his group started to lose the fight, so they headed to their vehicle. Someone in his group fired a shot, which hit Lucas-Alfonso.
Two members of the returning group approached one of Lucas-Alfonso’s friends and demanded his wallet. When he refused, he was knocked to the ground, and punched and kicked multiple times. The 15-year old boy claims it was shortly after this that the gunshots broke out.
-Byron Alvarez would be captured a short time afterwards and would be sentenced to 16 years in jail. Mederos, Sanchez, and Mendez would all become fugitives and according the 15-year old boy, all of the men agreed to say nothing about the shooting.
-20-year old Camille Love is another alleged victim of Santiago Mederos and Richard Sanchez's 2010 crime spree. Camille Love, and her brother, Josh Love, were headed home in February 2010 after visiting with family members on Tacoma's east side. Prosecutors said Sandoval and a group of fellow gang members were out seeking revenge for a murder of a friend. According to charging documents, Sandoval and his friends mistook Camille and Josh Love for rival gang members because of her red car and opened fire.
-One of the men involved, Juan Zuniga, was murdered by members of his own gang two months after the shooting. Most of the remaining people involved in Love's death were given prison sentences that ranged between 11 and 75 years. Eduardo Sandoval, the only one who did not plead guilty, was given the 75 years sentence. Mederos and Sanchez are the only two men believed involved in the shooting that remain at large.

Sanchez still listed as at large on all our aforementioned online wanted listings as of October 17th, 2019, just wanted to update this thread since there is a new url link for his Interpol online wanted poster. www.interpol.int/en/How-we-work/Notices/View-Red-Notices#2011-2129P.S. For what it's worth, I don't think we ever mentioned his middle name of Charles, which I assume could be used in an alias (not to make light of a serious matter, but now I'm having flashbacks to the "you call yourself a gangster? Your middle name is Clarence!" scene from 8 Mile. But despite Charles also not sounding like a gangster middle name, this guy is obviously still allegedly dangerous and frustratingly still not caught).

Bumping this up since Mederos is now captured but Sanchez (as of 6/7/2020) is seemingly still at large.

I really don't get why all three men weren't on to begin with but I'm glad Sanchez is finally added and hopefully this completes the trifecta.

Yaaayyyyy all the defendants in the case have all been caught in less than a year from eachother after having been on the run for 11 years.
Something investigation wise had to happen in order to get all 3 really quickly.
Also another thing that really gets to me is that they could have added all 3 individuals to the Top Ten List at the time Mederos was added as Luis Macedo and Walter Yovany Gomez had both been captured, and Mederos Replaced Van Wisse.
