Octaviano Juarez-Corro (December 22, 1973 – January 22, 2023) was a Mexican-American
Murders
On May 29, 2006, Memorial Day in the United States, Juarez-Corro's estranged wife and daughter arrived at a picnic at the South Shore Park in Milwaukee. Juarez-Corro, who was not invited, requested that he see his daughter, but his wife told him he was not allowed to see her. He became agitated and pulled out a handgun. He allegedly lined up four people and shot them all execution-style.[5] He killed his wife's boyfriend, along with a bystander who was also attending the picnic.[6][7]
Capture
Juarez-Corro was arrested on February 3, 2022, in Zapopan, Jalisco, Mexico.[4] He spent nearly sixteen years on the run.[8]
Death
Juarez-Corro was found unresponsive in his cell at the Milwaukee County Jail on January 22, 2023, and was pronounced dead at 6:45 a.m. CST. He was 49.[9] A ligature mark was found around his neck, but investigators did not say where it came from or if Juarez-Corro killed himself. In April 2023, a jailer was charged with misconduct for allegedly failing to check on Juarez-Corro before his death.[10]
