Hermenegildo Nava Catalan is wanted for the homicide of Osvaldo Anthony Torres. According to a document in Dallas County's court records database, Osvaldo was working as a uniformed security guard at an apartment complex. He encountered Hermenegildo and a second man who were drinking. An argument started and Osvaldo attempted to handcuff one of the men. Both men then attacked and overpowered Osvaldo. That's when the two men allegedly shot Osvaldo to death.
Investigators first learned about Hermenegildo from a witness in 2001 who said Hermenegildo originally fled to Tennessee. In 2003, a new witness stated they heard the defendant was allegedly responsible for killing Osvaldo. This was while the new witness was in Mexico. Hermenegildo was officially charged with Osvaldo's homicide in 2003 and a warrant was issued for his arrest.
Based on crime location, it is advised to contact North Texas Crime Stoppers at 1-877-373-TIPS (8477) if you have any information on Hermenegildo Nava Catalan's whereabouts.

Thoughts? As of today, February 21, 2024, Hermenegildo's murder case in Dallas County's Odyssey court records database is currently in "open" status. There have also been no court filings since 2003. I checked PACER and did not see a UFAP (Unlawful Flight To Avoid Prosecution) case for Hermenegildo.
I hope that Osvaldo's family can get justice and accountability in their loved one's case. It is really unfortunate that Osvaldo was murdered for simply doing his job.
