Marcelino Diaz-Rivera was a web-exclusive AMW case initially. Although his archived profile goes to an error page for the full-profile, I was able to transcribe the main details of his case through an AMW radio segment:
"On May 22nd, 2009 cops say that Marcelino Diaz-Rivera enjoyed some visitation time with his 1-year old child. That evening he returned the child to his ex-girlfriend at her apartment complex near Portland, Oregon. Allegedly Diaz-Rivera talked to the woman about getting back together again. When she refused, cops say that the former lovers got into a serious argument. And they say the verbal battle ended when Diaz-Rivera pulled out a gun and shot the woman four times as their infant child watched. The woman survived her serious injuries and I.D.'d Marcelino Diaz-Rivera as her shooter. Cops say he could be hiding in Oregon, California, or Mexico."
Admin Note #1: Based on wanted location, our advice for anyone with information on the whereabouts of Marcelino Diaz-Rivera would be to please call the Gresham, Oregon Police Department at 503-618-2318 or submit an anonymous web tip to Crime Stoppers of Oregon by clicking on this link: www.crimestoppersoforegon.com/submit.php
Thoughts? What is it with the Portland, Oregon area and these obsessed boyfriend cases? Alvaro Alvarado, Mauricio Beltran-Trejo and this guy. I think this is a pretty underrated case as well. I HATE fugitives who commit crimes in front of children which is why I did jumping jacks when Chuy Canales was caught. Ironically, like Beltran-Trejo and Alvarado, Diaz-Rivera may be in Mexico. But California being listed as a possibility gives some hope he can be caught in the states as well.
