Statewide Manhunt For Accused Violent Felon: Cops

PHOENIX, AZ — A man who is considered armed and dangerous is the subject of a statewide manhunt said police "won't be able to take him alive," according to reports. Anival Diaz-Moreno is wanted on several felony charges.

AZ Central reported Diaz-Moreno is wanted by Prescott Valley police for felony trespassing on April 16, when police said he had a handgun. He reportedly told his friends the police wouldn't be able to take him alive.

The offenses didn't stop there, according to police. He had a felony warrant issued out of Maricopa County Superior Court after failing to appear in court on a dangerous drugs charge.

Then, on April 19, according to AZ Central, police said Diaz-Moreno was part of an incident with a cop that landed him charges of aggravated assault on a police officer, endangerment upon a police officer and felony flight.

He then fled from police in Wickenburg, according to police.

Various felony charges also led to Yavapai County Superior Court issuing another warrant for Diaz-Moreno's arrest on a $500,000 bond, AZ Central reported.

If you see Diaz-Moreno, do not engage him. Instead, call 911, Prescott Valley police at 928-772-9267, or Silent Witness at 1-800-932-3232 for a potential $1,000 award.
