Mass State Police looking for 'armed & dangerous' criminal

(MyFoxBoston.com) -- Police are looking for a man that has at least six aliases and allegedly murdered a man in Lawrence.

Police said Yssael Lantigua-Alecon has been added to the state's Most Wanted list.

Police allege that on May 1, the 34-year-old shot a man at Bali's Restaurant on Essex Street in Lawrence. Officers found the victim on the bathroom floor suffering from multiple gunshot wounds, and later died on scene.

"The establishment was very busy that night. They were seen together talking, enjoying drinks. He literally followed the victim into the men's room in which three shots were fired," said Essex County District Attorney for Jonathan Blodgett.

Police said surveillance video captured Lantigua-Alecon running out of the restaurant with all of the other customers right after the shooting. Later that night, an officer allegedly saw him speeding away in his sister's SUV.

Police have issued a warrant for Lantigua-Alercon for murder and related firearm charges. Police said besides the aliases he often goes by, he's also obtained fake identities in the past. Such names include William Perez, William Perez Rodriquez, Issael Alercon, David Caceres, Ismael Lantigua and Issael Alturo Alercon Lantigua.

At the time of the murder, he was living in Methuen. He is considered armed and dangerous.

Lantigua-Alecon is described as 5 feet 7 inches, 180 pounds and has black hair with an olive completion.
