Wisconsin's Most Wanted: Francisco Hernandez-Rodriguez surrenders

MILWAUKEE - EDITOR'S UPDATE: Francisco Hernandez-Rodriguez surrendered in New Orleans – and is in custody. He surrendered to authorities about two weeks after the FOX6 News Most Wanted profile aired.

A car crash that turned into a shooting investigation more than 2,000 miles away is being connected to a man who may be hiding in Milwaukee.

U.S. Marshals have been looking for the person they say killed someone in Puerto Rico in November 2021. 

"He has taken active steps to evade police and conceal his identity," the U.S. Marshal on the case said.

When police in Puerto Rico arrived on the scene, they thought the driver died because of the wreck. After further investigation, they found something more nefarious.

"The victim appeared to have some bullet wounds to the back of his head," the marshal said.

Investigators say 34-year-old Francisco Hernandez-Rodriguez was responsible for the shooting. He was charged in 2023. 

By that time, U.S. Marshals say he fled stateside and was tracked to southern Florida and right here in Milwaukee.
