Rape Suspect On Most Wanted List Has Framingham Warrants

FRAMINGHAM, MA — A rape and kidnapping suspect was recently added to Massachusetts State Police's "Most Wanted Fugitives" list and he has warrants in several municipalities including Framingham. Carlos Vizcaino kidnapped and raped a woman at knifepoint, over several hours, in New Bedford last year, according to state police.

On the morning of May 31, 2018, New Bedford Police responded to a report of a naked woman running from a car. State police said officers saw the woman was hurt and brought her to a local hospital, they later learned that Vizcaino held the woman against her will at knifepoint for several hours and sexually and physically assaulted her in his car. The woman, in her mid 20's, was able to escape the car and run to a strangers car for help, according to state police. Vizcaino took off.

State police said Vizcaino is reported to be a native of the Dominican Republic but has previously claimed to be from Puerto Rico, and has used numerous aliases in the past, including the names Luis Castro, Angel Maysonet, Luis Linares and Carlos Vizcano. State police said he has changed his birth date and Social Security number with each alias.

Vizcaino is about 5’7” and 185 lbs., is white Hispanic, and has black hair and brown eyes and has tattoos on his upper left arm and right shoulder, and scars on his forehead. He has ties to Lynn and Lawrence as well as to New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Pennsylvania.

Police obtained a warrant from New Bedford District Court charging Vizcaino with armed kidnapping with sexual assault; rape with threat of bodily injury; and assault and battery with a dangerous weapon. He additionally has four other Massachusetts warrants for various motor vehicle violations issued out of the Lynn, Lawrence, Framingham and Plymouth District Courts, and has another warrant, under the name Angel Maysonet for motor vehicle offenses out of a court in Salem, N.H.

State police said evidence suggests Vizcaino used a New Hampshire license under the Maysonet name with police in Salem, N.H. and used a Rhode Island license under the name Luis Castro after being stopped by East Providence police.

Anyone who sees Vizcaino or has information about him or his whereabouts is urged to call 911 or the State Police Violent Fugitive Apprehension Section at 1-800-KAPTURE (1-800-527-8873).
