Unlawful Flight to Avoid Prosecution - Murder; Attempted Murder; Assault with a Deadly Weapon Caution: Cesar Villarreal, a convicted felon and known gang member, is wanted for his alleged involvement in the shooting death of a man in California. On May 21, 2010, it is alleged that Villarreal, while at a store with his two young daughters, got in an argument with two men.
