A man considered one of “Chandler’s Most Wanted” for his suspected connection to a 2005 homicide was arrested Tuesday by local and federal authorities after more than three years on the run.
Moses Mejia (pictured) was captured in Queen Creek by U.S. Marshals and Mesa police on suspicion of the October 2005 killing of Sergio Vasquez-Abuerto, according to the Chandler Police Department.
Vasquez was shot to death by a group of four men who robbed him and his friends at gunpoint in an apartment complex parking lot.
Mejia was the third person of the group to be arrested, police said. Investigators are still looking for another man, 22-year-old Jose Herrera. They asked anyone with information to call Chandler police at (480) 782-4130.
EVERY DAY THE EAST VALLEY TRIB OR THE REPUBLIC HAS AN ARTICLE OR TWO ABOUT ANOTHER “ILLEGAL ALIEN” CRIME. COULD IT BE BECAUSE THE GILBERT, CHANDLER, MESA, PHOENIX AND QUEEN CREEK ADMINISTRATIONS AND THEIR POLICE DEPARTMENTS REFUSE TO ENFORCE “ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION” LAWS. THAT IS WHY THIS CRIMINAL ELEMENT FEELS FREE TO COMMIT CRIMES WITH IMPUNITY BECAUSE OF THE “SANCTUARY CITY” MENTALITY OF THE POLITICIANS AND THEIR LAW ENFORCEMENT (OR SHOULD I SAY “LAW NON-ENFORCEMENT”) MINIONS.
If you want the Mexican vote, you can not arrest Mexicans. Politicians know that. When the Mexicans get tired of getting shot, they will do something about it.
HOW DO YOU KNOW THEY ARE ILLEGAL ALIENS, JUST BECAUSE YOU HAVE A SPANISH LAST NAME, IF YOU ONLY NEW THAT I HAVE A SPANISH LAST NAME AND AM PROUD OF WHERE MY FAMILY COMES FROM BUT ALSO PROUD TO BE A U.S CITIZN, YOU CAN’T JUDGE BY A NAME.
Loser, your an idiot! I’m not mexican or hispanic but my mom was an immigrant, and guess what, so was yours. Maybe not the mom who left you as a child, but perhaps your great grandmother or perhaps your great grand dad. That’s right we’re all immigrants in some way or another. The problems we have now extend from a lack of Federal Gov’t control over our borders and an antiquated immigration law. Throw in some underfunded and uneducated ICE employees and boom we have a full scale invasion.
There are many parts to this problem, one big part of the problem are racist individuals like yourself. Remember that white males commit 75% of all blue collar crime in America, white males commit 99% of all white collar crimes in America.
peace
PS….I don;t condone any of the actions in the article, “Loser” was making a sweeping generalization that all Hispanics are bad people looking for well fare checks. As far as I know from living here the last 6 years, hispanics do all the dirty work.
HEY LOSER DUDE YOUR ALL TALK !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GO PLAY YOUR VIDEO GAMES
EVERY COLOR OF RACE DOES CRIMES AND KILLINGS SO WHY BAG ON US ALL THE TIME? NO ONE IS PERFECT
Funny how “Loser”’s racist rants are allowed to remain on this page, but my previous post, which had the audacity to mention AJ residents in the same manner as “Loser” disparages Mexicans, is deleted. Way to be “Fair and Balanced” EV Trib

Not a Loser- I’d like to know where you got your stats. Link please?
Queen Creek should be the first place police look for these guys.
he’s not an illegal… i know him his family and Moses were born in AZ… people are so ignorant. Know your facts before you post something..
Moses is not an illegal immigrant, I knew this kid growing up and he definitely is not from Mexico. People post things out of ignorance. His sister’s an ASU graduate, he comes from a good family… sometimes people are just at the wrong place at the wrong time.
Alleyinaz: Moses may have been in the wrong place at the wrong time but I am sure he did not associate with the best of people or this never would have happened to him in the first place.
Moses Mejia was gang member in Chandler and has been a criminal his whole life. he was there when this man was killed, period. anyone who says Moses Mejia is a victim of circumstance or was in the wrong place at the wrong time is an idiot. Moses Mejia has been and will always be a POS criminal.
Thank you US Marshalls, Mesa Pd and Chandler PD Gang Unit for rounding this terd up. All I want to know is why wasn’t CPD’s criminal apprehension unit on this guy…. oh I know why, they were eating dinner at Morenos.
I agree with someone he was not a bad person at all, and he did come from a great family. and I also agree that he is being discriminated, and they are locking up an innocent person
Yeah, yeah, yeah. All races commit crime. That’s why we should just let 12-20 million illegals thumb their noses at our nation’s laws.
DId you know that all insects carry germs on their feet. That’s why you should let 12-20 million cockroaches hide in your kitchen.
Doesn’t that make sense?
