Police in West Richland, Washington, are asking for the public’s help in locating a murder suspect they consider ‘armed’ and ‘dangerous’ after a woman was pronounced dead outside a school local Monday.
Authorities identified the suspect as 40-year-old Elias Huizar. Police are also looking for a silver 2009 Toyota Corolla with Washington license plate CBZ4745. Anyone seeing the suspect or the vehicle should call 911, police said.
The suspect is also wanted for allegedly kidnapping a 1-year-old child with the same last name as his, according to a Amber Alert issued by the Washington State Patrol. Huizar is suspected of murdering his ex-wife and her girlfriend, according to the alert.
West Richland Police Department officers responded at 3:23 p.m. PT to a report of a shooting on the grounds of Wiley Elementary School, police said.
An adult female was pronounced dead outside the school, police said Monday afternoon.
Hours later, authorities said they found another homicide victim, “a known associate of the suspect,” while executing a search warrant at Huizar’s home. No further details about the victim were provided by police.
In addition to considering Huizar “armed” and “dangerous,” police said he was “likely to commit more crimes.”
Huizar may be heading to Mexico, according to the Amber Alert.
