Las Vegas Killer New To FBI 10 Most Wanted List

A Las Vegas man wanted for the 2008 murder of his wife is the newest addition to the FBI's 10 Most Wanted List. Jesus Roberto Munguina is charged with kidnapping and killing his wife, 29-year-old Sherryl Sacueza.

"This was a vicious killing," said Special Agent Andrew Attridge, who is investigating the case from the FBI’s Las Vegas Division.

Attidge said that the couple had split, each having accused accused the other of having an affaor. She had taken their four kids, aged six through 12, and fled.

"A few nights later he convinced her to come home," Attridge said.

According to Attidge, when she arrived back, Munguia forced the kids into the bedroom and locked the door. He then forced his wife into her car, drove her to a secluded location, bound her hands with the setbelts, and then tied to her the seat with jumper cables.

"At some point, he beat her to death with a blunt object, possibly the handle of a tire jack," according to Attidge.

The FBI says that he then drove back to his house, left his dead wife in the car, and fled.

Sauceza's sister found her.

He was charged with kidnapping and murder but fled. That led to federal charges of unlawful flight to avoid prosecution.

Munguia was born and raised in Los Angeles where was a member of the gang TEPA 13, according to the FBI.

In LA, he acquired an extensive criminal record, the FBI says. He had arrests for car theft and assaulting a police officer.

"We believe Munguia continues to have extensive family ties and gang ties to Southern California," Attridge said, especially in Los Angeles and Bakersfield. He may have also fled to Tijuana, Mexico or deeper into Mexico.

Munguia has several distinguishing features that may help someone recognize him. He has a tattoo of a teardrop near his left eye, and a tattoo of the letters "PA" on the back of his neck. He is also missing his right index finger.

"We know he is a violent individual," Attridge said, "He also appears to be smart in terms of evading capture."

Munguia has been known to use his deceased brother’s identity to get jobs—using his real name could lead authorities to him because of the outstanding warrants for his arrest.

"We believe that Munguia will do anything to evade capture," Attridge said. "He should be considered armed and extremely dangerous."

The FBI says that if you have information regarding Munguia, contact your local FBI office or the nearest U.S. Embassy or Consulate, or submit a tip online at https://tips.fbi.gov.
