Milwaukee, Wisconsin - On Sunday, Octaviano Juarez-Corro, 48, was found deceased in his cell at the Milwaukee County jail, he was pronounced dead at 6:45 a.m., according to the Milwaukee County Medical Examiner's Office. The Waukesha County Sheriff's Office has taken over the death investigation.
Juarez-Corro was awaiting trial for two felony counts for 1st-degree intentional homicide and three counts for attempt 1st-degree homicide in connection with the June 2006 homicides at a South Shore Park in the City of Milwaukee.
If convicted, Juarez-Corro was facing two life terms in prison without the possibility of parole and up to 60 years in prison for each felony count for attempted homicide.
Juarez-Corro fled Milwaukee to México in 2006 shortly after committing his crimes and was captured by the FBI, Interpol and Mexican local authorities in a joint operation in the City of Zapopan, Jalisco, Mexico in early February 2022.
Juarez-Corro was on the FBI's 10 most wanted list and a $100,000 reward had been offered for information leading to his arrest.
According to the criminal complaint, in June 2006 Juarez-Corro entered South Shore Park on the banks of Lake Michigan, where hundreds of people were gathered for a Memorial Day picnic, including many families with children—among them Juarez-Corro's estranged wife and their 3-year-old daughter. Juarez-Corro, who was an uninvited guest, caused a commotion and demanded to see his daughter. His wife informed him that he was not allowed to see his daughter that day and demanded that he leave. Juarez-Corro then became agitated and shortly thereafter produced a handgun from his waistband. He demanded for the targeted victims to get on their knees, but before they could comply, Juarez-Corro shot each one execution-style.
He shot his estranged wife twice in the chest, but she survived. Juarez-Corro also shot other members of her family and friends at the picnic. In total five people were shot, two of which were fatally wounded. The deceased victims were identified as Raymundo Muñoz-Silva, 31 and Julio Diaz-Guillen, 17.
Both Muñoz-Silva and Diaz-Guillen were shot in the head. Muñoz-Silva was the boyfriend of Juarez-Corro's estranged wife.
