The case of a fugitive from Prince William County was featured Saturday on Fox’s “America’s Most Wanted.”

On Feb. 28, authorities said, Ricardo Jauregui-Balbuena killed David Melendez Lopez after he heard Lopez was spreading rumors about him. Lopez’s body was discovered by two men who were going door to door offering to shovel snow, police said. Balbuena went on the run, and now the United States marshals have joined in the hunt.

Balbuena is 6 feet 1, 150 pounds. He has brown eyes and black hair and goes by the nickname Tego. Balbuena was previously arrested for possession of cocaine, and detectives told “AMW” that he’s known to frequent drag-themed bars. Balbuena may be in Virginia or in New York.
