CHICAGO (AP) – The FBI added two men to its 10 Most Wanted Fugitives list Thursday: A Chicago-area man suspected in a teenager’s 2009 killing and a Los Angeles man accused of killing his pregnant girlfriend last month.
FBI Director James Comey announced in Chicago that two people had been removed from the list that’s been around since 1950, including a nearly 20-year-old case that was unlikely to generate new public tips.
Authorities offered up to $100,000 for information leading to the arrest of Luis Macedo of suburban Chicago and Philip Patrick Policarpio of Los Angeles.
Macedo, of Oak Lawn, Illinois, was charged with first-degree murder in the slaying of 15-year-old Alex Arellano, who was beaten with baseball bats, shot in the head and set on fire. Four others were quickly arrested and went on to be convicted and given lengthy prison terms, the most recent a 19-year-old Chicago man sentenced to 60 years in prison in 2013.
“We are trying to shine a very bright, very hot light on Macedo,” Comey said.
