ROSWELL, N.M. – A Roswell man accused of killing the mother of his 3-year-old son before fleeing with the boy is now facing federal charges.
The FBI said it has issued an arrest warrant for 32-year-old Jorge Rico-Ruvira on one count of unlawful flight to avoid prosecution.
Police believe Rico-Ruvira killed 27-year-old Isela Mauricio-Sanchez and left with their young son, who is still missing.
Rico-Ruvira is also facing charges of first-degree murder in state court. Authorities said he was possibly headed to Mexico, where he has family.
