Arrest Warrant Issued for Milpitas Man Accused of Killing 14-Year-Old Girl

An arrest warrant was issued Wednesday for a 23-year-old man suspected of being the driver in a hit-and-run crash in Milpitas in February that killed a 14-year-old San Jose girl, police said today.

The warrant seeks the arrest of Milpitas resident Alex Alcazar on suspicion of hit-and-run resulting in death, reckless driving resulting in death and driving on a suspended license, according to Milpitas police.

Alcazar was identified on Feb. 11 as the registered owner of a silver, two-door 1992 Cadillac El Dorado involved in the Feb. 4 collision with a garbage truck at North Milpitas Boulevard and Jacklin Road, police said.

A passenger in the Cadillac, 14-year-old Cynthia Ramirez Becerra, a San Jose resident, was found on the ground next to the car with severe visible injuries. She was pronounced dead at the scene.

The driver of the Cadillac, identified by police as Alcazar, fled the crash scene on foot and is still at large, according to police.

At 3:36 a.m. on Feb. 4, police had received a report of a vehicle accident at North Milpitas Boulevard and Jacklin Road, where a Cadillac collided with a garbage truck and the car’s driver attempted to speed away, police said.

Officers followed a trail of debris that had fallen from the Cadillac and located the car stopped at the curb on the eastbound side of the 800 block of Coyote Street, about a quarter-mile away.

They then found the girl lying on the roadway beside the Cadillac but the driver had fled, according to police.

Milpitas police are asking the public for assistance in locating Alcazar. Anyone who witnessed the Feb. 4 collision or who has any information for investigators is urged to call the department at (408) 586-2400, or can call (408) 586-2500 to leave an anonymous tip.
