One of the state’s most wanted fugitives will be arraigned on murder charges on Friday.
Yssael Lantigua-Alecon is facing charges in connection to his alleged involvement in the 2015 murder of a 21-year-old in a Lawrence restaurant.
Lantigua-Alecon, formerly of Methuen, was arrested in the foothills of Pennsylvania’s Pocono Mountains this summer.
Soon after the murder, a warrant was issued for his arrest, but tracking him down proved to be difficult. Police said he was originally from the Dominican Republic, and he had a history of creating fake names, with possibly up to six different aliases.
Lantigua-Alecon was featured in the Boston 25 series “New England’s Unsolved” by Bob Ward. His investigation highlighted the surveillance video showing the shooting and the search for him.
