"San Diego County Crime Stoppers and investigators from the San Diego Police Department’s Homicide Unit are asking for the public’s help in locating Ernesto Castellanos Martinez who is wanted for the murder of 27-year-old Alexander Mazin..
On February 25, 2018, at 10:49 a.m., San Diego Police Officers responded to the rear parking lot of 3675 Midway Drive to investigate a report of a shooting. When officers arrived, they found Alexander Mazin suffering from gunshot wounds. Despite officers rendering medical aid to Mazin, he was pronounced deceased at the scene. San Diego Police Department Homicide Detectives determined that 41-year-old Ernesto Castellanos Martinez shot Mazin and then fled the area before police arrived.
Anyone with information about the location of Ernesto Castellanos Martinez is asked to call the San Diego Police Department’s Homicide Unit at (619) 531-2293 or the Crime Stoppers anonymous tip line at (888) 580-8477.

Thoughts? Although it's not exactly revealed in articles why Martinez allegedly shot Alexander Mazin to death, one article interviews Mazin's parents, and they say he was dating a woman Martinez previously went out with. They claim that Martinez assaulted her weeks before he allegedly murdered Mazin: timesofsandiego.com/crime/2018/03/16/reward-offered-for-tips-in-point-loma-heights-slaying/
Also, despite being on the run, Martinez is not exactly in hiding as he is continually updating his Facebook page. It is believed he is hiding in Mexico, where extradition would have some challenges that would need to be worked out with the San Diego County Attorney's Office, so perhaps that explains why he is being so brazen: www.nbclosangeles.com/news/california/Suspect-in-Midway-Homicide-Posts-New-Pics-to-Facebook-PD-478305803.html
Also, as of this posting date (4/29/2018), Martinez is still wanted at least according to San Diego County's online warrants search: apps.sdsheriff.net/WARRANT/waarDetail.aspx?eRECD_NBR=ZBlrvgWLMfru6x1PubTyzfTeAE94Ej0kDta8LdFcaQYKvXs4J1m8nmEy8W2jHjVF
