In his statement, the sheriff also said, "the dude found himself at the top of Puerto Rico's Top 10 Most Wanted List." A video posted in 2020 on YouTube backs up this claim as Negron-Guevarez was featured in a public broadcast by Puerto Rican police called "Los Más Buscados," which translated to English is "The Most Wanted." In the 2020 video, police referred to a single murder. Negron-Guevarez, 28 at the time, was accused of killing a man by repeatedly shooting him in the head in the town of Dorado, Puerto Rico. For this murder charge, a judge in Puerto Rico issued a $1,750,000 bond. Sheriff White, however, said Negron-Guevarez has been on the run after "heinously murdering two innocent individuals. Why he chose to seek refuge in Franklin County, North Carolina only the good Lord knows."
