NEWS-SUN STAFF REPORT
Wisconsin authorities are actively searching for a Waukegan man who failed to show for sentencing stemming from a fatal DUI crash.
Raymond L. Nieves, 27, of Waukegan did not attend sentencing Monday after being charged in a 2005 fatal car crash in Pleasant Prairie, Wis.
Police are also seeking Nieves in connection with slayings in Waukegan and Milwaukee.
Warrants for Nieves and another man, Johnny Maldonado, 18, have been issued by the Milwaukee Police Department for first-degree homicide.
It is believed Nieves is a possible suspect in the shooting death of Jonathan Quebrado, 15, of the 1800 block of Lincoln Street, March 22, while he was playing basketball with known gang members at Bob Woodard Park at 701 S. Victory St. in Waukegan.
Milwaukee police said Nieves eluded authorities in May 2005 after being charged for contributing to an accident that resulted in the death of a passenger riding in his car. He was intoxicated at the time of the crash, police said.
Nieves did make a court appearance in 2007, but was released after posting $10,000 bond.
As recently as 2000, he was indicted on two counts each of aggravated battery with a firearm and aggravated discharge of a firearm surrounding the shooting of a 20-year-old Waukegan man near Lincoln and Cummings avenues.
Anyone with information about Nieves are asked to contact the Kenosha Police Department at (262) 605-5203.
