According to Newspaperarchive.org, on August 2, 1987, Adan Umanzor and Ruben Melendez were at a bar in Santa Ana, California. Adan allegedly went up to Ruben with a gun and a bartender tried to intervene, authorities say the bartender was shot twice and was wounded. Adan then allegedly chased Ruben out of the bar and shot him to death. Adan Umanzor then went on the run.
Based on crime location, it is advised to contact the Santa Ana Police Department at 1-714-245-8665 if you have any information on Adan Umanzor's whereabouts.

Thoughts? As of today, October 25, 2018, Adan Umanzor still has an active warrant in the Orange County Warrants Search so he is a wanted fugitive to this day. I learned about his case from a 1993 archived report by the Santa Ana Orange County Register on 98 wanted murder suspects out of Orange County. Some of those fugitive cases I researched did not have active murder warrants as of 2018, so it looks like Orange County thankfully has an up-to-date warrant database.
Adan would only be 64-years of age today, so he's most likely still alive. Santa Ana and Orange County in general has done a very good job with fugitive publicity over the years, but I know it would be very difficult to publicize everyone. Nevertheless, Ruben Melendez was killed and another victim was wounded. Adan needs to be held accountable in a court of law on these alleged charges if he's still alive. Publicity online is better than nothing.
