Michael Sanchez was 27 and about to begin a promotion to manager at a car dealership when an argument over a barking dog escalated into fatal violence on the morning of June 18, 2013. Sanchez had filed two animal control reports about the dog’s aggressive behavior. After a confrontation with his neighbor, Ricardo Villanueva-Cordova, at their mobile home park, Villanueva-Cordova followed Sanchez to a Valero gas station.

Surveillance video shows Sanchez being attacked while fueling his vehicle; he was stabbed 29 times in roughly 30 seconds, attempted to flee, and cried for help. First responders took him to a hospital, and he died less than three hours later. Villanueva-Cordova fled the scene and remains at large. A grand jury indicted him for first-degree murder and kidnapping, and investigators believe he may have gone to Mexico. Sanchez’s family remembers him for his loving nature and the bright future that was taken.

Does anyone have information about Sanchez, the mobile home park, or Villanueva-Cordova’s whereabouts that could help bring answers to the family?
