FBI Special Agent in Charge (SAC) of the Chicago Field Office Jeffrey S. Sallet and Chief Richard Shore of the Burbank Police Department (BPD) in Illinois announced today the addition of an alleged murderer, Arnoldo Jimenez, to the FBI’s list of Ten Most Wanted Fugitives.
Jimenez, 37, is the 522nd fugitive to be named to the FBI’s list of Ten Most Wanted Fugitives, which has been in existence since 1950. Jimenez is being sought for his alleged involvement in the murder of his new wife the morning after their wedding. He should be considered armed and dangerous.
On May 12, 2012, Jimenez allegedly stabbed his wife to death in his black, four-door, 2006 Maserati, then allegedly dragged her body into the bathroom tub of her apartment in Burbank, Illinois. Jimenez was charged with first degree murder by the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois, and a state warrant was issued for his arrest on May 15, 2012. A federal arrest warrant was issued by the United States District Court, Northern District of Illinois, Eastern Division, on May 17, 2012, after Jimenez was charged federally with unlawful flight to avoid prosecution.
