The extensive criminal charge sheet against Guerrero Jr. includes conspiracy to distribute and possess with intent to distribute methamphetamine, along with distribution and possession of methamphetamine. He's also facing charges for unlawful sale, transport, and transfer of firearms as an unlicensed dealer, according to FBI records. A federal arrest warrant was issued after he was charged, solidifying his status as a fugitive.
Guerrero Jr., also known by a myriad of aliases such as "Triste," "Diablo," and "Wizard," is described as a male with black hair and brown eyes, standing 5'6" tall and weighing 150 pounds. Distinctive tattoos mark his left arm, left hand, left shoulder, neck, right cheek, and face, features that authorities hope will make him easier to identify.
The FBI's Los Angeles office has categorized Guerrero Jr. as one who supplied large amounts of drugs to the Los Angeles area. This has not only fueled a drug crisis but also contributed to the cyclic violence that haunts the streets tied to drug trafficking and associated crimes. The public is urged to reach out to their local FBI office or the nearest American Embassy or Consulate with any information, as spelled out in an FBI bulletin.
With communities at stake and a man's freedom hanging in the balance, the quest for justice in the case of Alexander Zelaya Guerrero Jr. lingers.
