The United States Marshals Service and its Southwest Investigative Fugitive Task Force (SWIFT) are currently seeking the whereabouts of Alexis FERNANDEZ (aka Alexis Fernandez MUNOZ, Alex MEDINA), in reference to an outstanding arrest warrant issued by the United States District Court for Violations of Supervised Release. FERNANDEZ is also a suspect in the murder of his girlfriend. FERNANDEZ’s original Federal charge was for counterfeiting currency.

In January 2004, FERNANDEZ was released from the Bureau of Prisons after serving his sentence for counterfeiting currency. He was turned over to Immigration and Customs Enforcement, but since he is a Cuban national, he was not deported. On January 29, 2004, he failed to report to U.S. Probation. On February 1, 2004, FERNANDEZ’s girlfriend was found stabbed to death. FERNANDEZ is a suspect in that crime.

FERNANDEZ’s criminal history includes: Possession with the Intent to Distribute Cocaine, Trafficking a controlled substance, and manufacturing counterfeit currency.

FERNANDEZ is described as a 37 year-old Cuban male, 5’11”, approximately 145lbs with brown hair and brown eyes.

The U.S. Marshals Service considers this individual to be armed and extremely dangerous. Anyone with information that could lead to this subject’s apprehension is asked to contact the U.S. Marshals Service at 505-346-6400. All information will be kept confidential.
