Overview
- Authorities announced the $50,000 reward Wednesday as part of a renewed manhunt for Hector Vicente Paguada Paguada, who is wanted on state capital murder charges in the 2024 killings.
- Police say the two women, 55-year-old Juana Medina Rodriguez and 23-year-old Nayeli Bolanos Medina, were shot on Jan. 19, 2024 at Park Springs Apartments in Irving with a 5-year-old child witnessing the attack.
- A state warrant for capital murder and a federal Unlawful Flight to Avoid Prosecution warrant were issued after the killings, and investigators say Paguada fled the country with help from others.
- Several people have been charged for helping the suspect escape or tampering with evidence, and authorities warn civilians not to approach the fugitive and to submit tips to the FBI.
- Officials say the search is complicated by Paguada’s use of multiple aliases and ties to Honduras, and they hope the reward and fresh appeals will produce actionable information for extradition and prosecution.
