CONCORD, NH — The U.S. Marshals-New Hampshire Joint Fugitive Task Force is asking for the public's help finding a suspect who is accused of dealing fentanyl in the state.

Luis Mendoza Vazquez is 33, about 5 feet, 10 inches tall, and weighs 285 lbs. He has brown hair and eyes. Jeffrey White, a deputy marshal, said Vazquez has tattoos on his right arm — a sleeve with flowers as well as the name, "Melinda," on his right bicep, near the flowers. He also sometimes uses the alias, "Luis Vazquez Mendoza," according to an alert.

"An arrest warrant was issued for Mendoza Vazquez out of the U.S. District Court of New Hampshire alleging possession with intent to distribute controlled substances (fentanyl)," White said. "Mendoza Vazquez was last known to reside in Manchester, where he has ties to friends, family, and associates."
