LAPD: Cuatro Flats Gangster Executes Rivals

Ten years after authorities say Cuatro Flats gang member Jose Luis Saenz killed three people, including his child's mother, authorities in Los Angeles are determined to bring this fugitive to justice.

Shortly before 6 a.m. on July 25, 1998, cops say Saenz -- who was then 22 years old -- and fellow gang member Juan Pena went to the Aliso Viejo housing project in East Los Angeles.

According to detectives, the duo went to Aliso Viejo under the guise of a drug buy, but they actually went there to hunt down rival East L.A. Trece gang members.  Cops say Saenz and Pena sought to exact revenge from an incident a week earlier when Trece gang members beat Pena up.

Cops say when Saenz caught up woth the two rival gang members he asked for a bag of drugs, but quickly executed his rivals, shooting both in the head.

According to detectives, Saenz then said to Pena, "That's how it's done." 

Saenz then shot the rivals once again to ensure they were dead.  The duo then fled from the scene and sought refuge at the home of Saenz's girlfriend.

Cops: Gang Member Silences Girlfriend

According to cops, Saenz and Pena hid at Sigreta Hernandez's apartment right after Saenz murdered the two rival gang members. Sigreta was not only Saenz's girlfriend, but also the mother of his infant daughter.

Cops say fellow gang members didn't trust Sigreta, and urged Saenz to kill her. They feared that Sigreta would tell cops about the murders.

Days after the double murders, on August 5, Saenz kidnapped Sigreta and drove her to his house in an unincorporated area of Los Angeles.

Cops say Saenz ordered his grandmother, with whom he was living, to leave before taking Sigreta to his bedroom, where he brutally raped and executed her. Like the Trece gang members he shot days before, Saenz killed Sigreta by shooting her in the head.

According to detectives, Saenz then called his grandmother and told her not to return home.  However, when the grandmother and a friend returned to the house a short time later, they discovered Sigreta's body, her face covered with a pillow.

Cops charged Saenz with three counts of murder, one count of kidnapping and one count of rape, and secured a warrant for his arrest.  Saenz has vowed to not go down without a fight if cops try to arrest him.

Police: Ten Years Later, Saenz Surfaces To Kill Again

On October 5, 2008, L.A. County homicide detectives were called to the scene of a murder in Whittier, Calif.; cops learned that the victim was 38-year-old Oscar Torres.

Cops say Torres was executed in his front yard after he failed to repay $600,000 in drug money, which he forfeited to cops during a routine traffic stop.

Investigators discovered that the money Torres was transporting belonged to Jose Luis Saenz. Investigators also learned that the murder of Oscar Torres  was recorded by surveillance cameras.

Saenz is seen arriving at Torres' house, chasing Torres out of his front door and pumping Torres full of bullets. When the medical examiner arrived, he was pronounced dead.

The videotape confirmed for police that Jose Luis Saenz has returned to the area, and is more dangerous than ever. Police say it's only a matter of time before he kills again. Cops really want help from anyone who knows anything about Saenz's whereabouts.

In October 2009, the FBI added Saenz to their Ten Most Wanted Fugitives List.
