Joshua Escobar After four days on the run, a murder suspect from San Jacinto County is back in police custody, and his bond has been revoked. On Monday, Joshua Escobar, accused of the March 2023 murder of Seal Paul Velasquez, reportedly removed the ankle monitor he was assigned for unrelated charges in Montgomery County and then fled the area in a stolen vehicle, authorities say. He was arrested on Friday by law enforcement officers in Guadalupe County after a statewide alert for his whereabouts was issued.
