Gilberto Hernandez-Ordunez, 34, was reported missing from Milwaukee on January 9, 2016 after his girlfriend said he left for work as a painter and did not return. He is described as a Hispanic/Latino male, 5 feet 6 inches, about 170 pounds, with black hair, brown eyes, a neck tattoo, and was last seen in white painter’s pants and a shirt.

Reports show the disappearance quickly took on a different character. Hernandez-Ordunez and Alfredo Romo had been indicted in December 2015 on federal charges alleging possession with intent to distribute five kilograms or more of cocaine, with shipments hidden in metal elevator parts. A magistrate released Hernandez-Ordunez on a signature bond after family members and his work history were cited in court, but he failed to appear for a January 29, 2016 hearing and a warrant was issued. Authorities believed he had fled, possibly to Mexico, shifting the matter from a missing person case to a fugitive search.

If anyone saw Hernandez-Ordunez around January 2016 or knows his possible whereabouts, please share information with the U.S. Marshals Service.
