Outstanding Deadly Home Invasion Suspect Captured, One Still On the Run

(Javier Lopez)             (Roman Sauceda Rueda)
                  


On 5/15/21, TCSO Detectives with the Marijuana Investigation Team served several search warrants for illegal marijuana grows.

During a warrant in the Farmersville area, 32-year-old Emiliano Camacho was arrested for marijuana-related offenses and booked into custody at the Adult Pre-Trial Facility. 

Prior to Camacho being released on bail, it was discovered his real name was Javier Lopez. 

In 2020, Lopez was identified as a suspect in a home invasion in Lindsay where a suspect was shot and killed by the homeowner.

On 5/20/21, TCSO Homicide Unit Detectives met with Lopez and interviewed him about the home invasion and homicide. 

Lopez was charged participating in a felonious crime, which resulted in a homicide.

Deputies are also still looking for 21-year-old Roman Sauceda Rueda of Visalia, who is an additional suspect in the 2020 home invasion.

This is still an active investigation.
