From the Washington Post website: (2007 article)
Herndon police were looking yesterday for a 20-year-old man charged with fatally stabbing another man during a fight Saturday night, authorities said.
Luis Miguel Abrego Romero and Juan Jose Alvarenga Alvarenga, 23, started arguing at a party in the 1000 block of Alabama Drive just before 10 p.m. and were told to take it outside, Lt. Jerry S. Keys said. Outside, the altercation turned physical, and Alvarenga was stabbed several times in the upper torso, Keys said.
Police found Alvarenga lying on a sidewalk in the apartment complex, bleeding profusely, according to documents filed in Fairfax County Circuit Court. He was pronounced dead at Inova Fairfax Hospital.
Keys said police do not know what the men were arguing about. The two Herndon men might have grown up together in a Central American town.
"We're interviewing witnesses and trying to get the story figured out," Keys said.
The search warrant was issued for Romero's apartment in the complex where the stabbing occurred. According to court documents, police seized money transfer receipts, a medical bracelet, hospital discharge paperwork, and two passports and a birth certificate from Honduras.
Police ask that anyone with information about Romero's whereabouts call them at 703-435-6846.

Interpol Wanted Poster: www.interpol.int/notice/search/wanted/2009-1414
Thoughts? I should stress that the above article is from 2007 so some details may be outdated for now. For example, Romero would now be 31 years old at the time of this posting (August 1st, 2018). Also, at the time of this posting, Romero is still on Interpol's website as a wanted fugitive with a Red Notice wanted poster. A Red Notice is like an international arrest warrant (Explained more here: www.justice.gov/usam/criminal-resource-manual-611-interpol-red-notices)
The above article is old but that phone number is the Herndon Virginia P.D. number so likely still a good number to call for tips. The Interpol website also has a contact form for anyone in any country to send them information: www.interpol.int/Forms/Wanted_persons/(subject)/Wanted-ABREGO%20ROMERO%20LUIS%20MIGUEL/(notice_id)
P.S. The url seems to indicate the Red Notice was issued in 2009. (Usually the year in the url is the year of issue).
In my opinion, seems like it will be a difficult extradition if Romero is hiding out in Honduras. America's Most Wanted never caught a fugitive in Honduras and many Honduran national fugitives seem to still be likely hiding there. (Berny Figueroa, Alexis Flores etc..) Honduras will send back people there illegally at a decent pace but those born in Honduras have traditionally been a different story. All we can do is hope.
