On September 8, 2024, Efrain Andrande Jimenez, a 31-year-old resident of Waldo, Ohio, was fatally shot in Delaware County. The incident occurred early in the morning at a residence located on Norton-Waldo Road. Emergency responders arrived to find Jimenez with multiple gunshot wounds, and he was pronounced dead at the scene shortly thereafter.
Authorities have identified Bruno Vasquez Munguia, a 35-year-old man, as the primary suspect in Jimenez's death.
Reports indicate that Jimenez and Munguia were acquaintances, which adds a layer of complexity to the investigation. Following the shooting, Munguia fled the scene and is currently considered armed and dangerous. The Delaware County Sheriff's Office has issued a warning to the public not to approach him if spotted and to contact law enforcement immediately.
The investigation is being supported by the U.S. Marshals Service as they work to locate Munguia. He faces serious charges including murder and aggravated murder. Authorities have released updated photographs of him, noting distinctive features such as fresh cuts on his face and a large scar on his right bicep. There are concerns that he may be hiding in the Columbus area or possibly in Indiana.
In addition to the ongoing manhunt for Munguia, there have been developments regarding his family. His brother has been charged with lying to police during the investigation, which may indicate attempts to obstruct justice related to the case. The situation remains tense as law enforcement continues their efforts to apprehend Munguia and seek justice for Efrain Andrande Jimenez's tragic death.
