Julio Guevara-Mejia is wanted for the attempted murder of his ex-girlfriend. He was aired twice in 2008.
Julio Guevara-Mejia and 17-year old Monica Bentley began a relationship that Monica hid from her parents. Monica however broke off the relationship when she realized that it was inappropriate, Julio was 17 years older than her. Julio then stalked and harassed Monica. Monica eventually moved and didn't see Julio for nearly a year. Julio got a 15-year old boy named Saga who lived with him to befriend Monica. On Nov 10, 2007, Saga asked Monica to pick him up at a Motel 6 in Davis, California. When Monica got to the hotel room, Julio showed up and grabbed her. Julio pulled out a gun and shot at a bystander in the parking lot who yelled at him to let Monica go. Then Julio shot Monica several times in her chest and ankles.
Saga was arrested but Julio fled to Houston, Texas after getting $400 from relatives. He has two brothers and friends living in the Houston area but may have also fled to his native Honduras or even Mexico. Monica is now paralyzed as a result of her injuries.
Thoughts? Sadly if Julio is in Honduras then that nation probably wouldn't extradite him back to California.
