Cops say Mario Romero took off with his son, Mitchell, after allegedly killing the boy's mother. If you've seen Mario Romero, call 1-800-CRIME-TV right away.

Cops say there is still a warrant out on Mario Romero in the murder of his wife, Mitchell's mother, Veronica Esquivel Romero.  They say preliminary reports indicate that Veronica Romero died from strangulation.

"We know that they had relationship problems in the past," said Denver City Police Chief Miller.  "Romero had been arrested this past year for family violence."

Authorities tell AMW that Mario Romero is a legal resident alien from Mexico and has worked in oil field-related work in the past.

"We're not sure of his whereabouts for the simple reason that he has other family members in the United States," remarked Chief Miller. "All of these leads have been followed up on."

Police say 34-year-old Mario Romero is a Hispanic male, standing 5'7" tall and weighing around 205 lbs.  He also has black hair and brown eyes.

Authorities say Romero could be driving a maroon 2004 GMC Yukon with Texas license plates 43WFX6.  Cops think he could be headed to Mexico.

"We'd really like to have more information on a possible or known location -- whether it be in the United States or Mexico," concluded Chief Miller.

If you have seen accused killer Mario Romero, call our hotline right away at 1-800-CRIME-TV.

Cops: Kidnapped Boy Dies In Horrific Car Accident

Authorities in Texas tell AMW that Mexican authorities are confirming that three-year-old Mitchell Romero died in a car accident on November 4, 2009. They say the accident occurred in Ojinaga, Mexico across the border from Presidio, Texas. "We don't have any details on the accident other than it was a one-car rollover," said Denver City Police Lt. Charlie Higgs. "Mitchell wasn't with his father and we're working on confirming the identification of the deceased. There have been family members from Texas in Mexico to try to identify him." Authorities confirm that the family members -- reportedly those of fugitive Mario Romero -- were attempting to bring young Mitchell back into the United States. They say those two family members survived the horrific accident. Police tell AMW that Mitchell's father -- accused murderer Mario Romero -- remains at-large and is more than likely in Mexico.
