Octaviano Juarez-Corro (December 22, 1973 – January 22, 2023) was a Mexican-American fugitive who was added to the FBI Ten Most Wanted Fugitives list on September 8, 2021. [1] He was wanted for the murders of Raymundo Munoz-Silva and Julio Diaz-Guillen, who were shot and killed execution style at South Shore Park in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, on May 29, 2006. Three other people were injured during the shooting. [2] Juarez-Corro was the 525th fugitive to be placed on the FBI's Ten Most Wanted Fugitives list. The FBI offered a reward of up to $100,000 for information leading to his capture. [3] He was captured in Zapopan, Jalisco, Mexico, on February 3, 2022. [4]
On May 29, 2006, Memorial Day in the United States, Juarez-Corro's estranged wife and daughter arrived at a picnic at the South Shore Park in Milwaukee. Juarez-Corro, who was not invited, requested that he see his daughter, but his wife told him he was not allowed to see her. He became agitated and pulled out a handgun. He allegedly lined up four people and shot them all execution-style. [5] He killed his wife's boyfriend, along with a bystander who was also attending the picnic. [6] [7]
Juarez-Corro was arrested on February 3, 2022, in Zapopan, Jalisco, Mexico. [4] He spent nearly sixteen years on the run. [8]
Juarez-Corro was found unresponsive in his cell at the Milwaukee County Jail on January 22, 2023, and was pronounced dead at 6:45 a.m. CST. He was 49. [9] A ligature mark was found around his neck, but investigators did not say where it came from or if Juarez-Corro killed himself. In April 2023, a jailer was charged with misconduct for allegedly failing to check on Juarez-Corro before his death. [10]
