Jose Manuel García Guevara (born February 11, 1988) is a Mexican national formerly on the FBI Ten Most Wanted Fugitives list.

Background On February 19, 2008, while living with four roommates in a trailer park in Lake Charles, Louisiana, Guevara allegedly broke into the trailer of his neighbor, 26-year-old Wanda Barton, and raped and stabbed her to death in the presence of her 4-year-old stepson.

He has a tattoo of the letter "J" on his shoulder, and goes by the nickname Pelón, which translates to "bald head," but is also a slang word for penis. There was a $100,000 reward offered by the FBI for his capture.

On July 30, 2014, the FBI and officials with the Calcasieu Parish Sheriff's Office announced that they had captured Guevara. He was extradited from Mexico and booked into the Calcasieu Parish jail.

On January 28, 2015 Guevara was convicted of aggravated burglary, aggravated rape and second degree murder.
