Pablo Serrano-Vitorino has been arrested. The man at the center of a manhunt in Montgomery County has been captured.
It took more than 24 hours of searching and a response from more than 60 officers for the arrest of Pablo Serrano-Vitorino in Florence Tuesday night. He is facing four counts of first-degree murder, officials said.
The Missouri Highway Patrol confirmed that a 49-year-old man was killed Tuesday morning in Montgomery County.
Authorities said the death of Randy J. Nordman is linked to the search for Serrano-Vitorino. Nordman lived at the address on Tree Farm Road where his body was found.
Kansas City, Kansas, police said Pablo Serrano-Vitorino has been charged with four counts of murder in the shooting deaths of four men in the 300 block of South 36th Street.
Police officers were called to the neighborhood at 11 p.m. Monday. When they arrived, officers found three men in their early 30s shot to death. A fourth shooting victim was located and rushed to a hospital, where he died.
Investigators said that a red 2002 Dodge Ram 1500 pickup truck that Serrano-Vitorino was believed to have been driving was found abandoned on I-70 in Montgomery County, Missouri.
“We don’t know if he was heading somewhere and ran out of gas, had engine problems or what,” said Sgt. Scott White of the Missouri State Highway Patrol. “Only thing we can confirm is where his truck was located at the 171 mile marker on I-70, and after that truck was located, within 20-30 minutes we had a homicide report.”
The U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement office said Pablo Serrano-Vitorino was in the United State illegally and had been deported 12 years ago.
“Pablo Serrano-Vitorino illegally re-entered the United States on an unknown date. ICE will continue to monitor this case and will place a detainer on Mr. Serrano-Vitorino if he is taken into local custody. ICE remains focused on smart, effective immigration enforcement that prioritizes threats to national security, public safety and border security,” said public affairs officer Gail Montenegro.
She issued an updated statement later about questions over whether he had been detained in Johnson County last year.
“Pablo Serrano-Vitorino was fingerprinted Sept. 14, 2015 at the Overland Park Municipal Court, which generated the issuance of an ICE detainer. Further records checks indicate that ICE erroneously issued the detainer to the Johnson County Sheriff’s Office, instead of to the Overland Park Municipal Court. Mr. Serrano-Vitorino was not in Johnson County custody on Sept. 14, 2015. ICE regrets the error.”
