Livingston homicide suspect remains on the run, police say

The search continued Wednesday for a 25-year-old Winton man accused of killing his ex-girlfriend’s new boyfriend late last month in Livingston.

Jorge Daniel Vera is wanted in connection with the March 29 stabbing death of Edardo Olmos, 27, of Atwater, according to the Livingston Police Department.

Chief Ruben Chavez on Wednesday confirmed that Vera remains on the run from police.

Vera is accused of stabbing Olmos outside a home in the 1400 block of Eighth Street in Livingston during an altercation sparked by jealousy over Olmos’ relationship with Vera’s ex-girlfriend, according to police.

Autopsy results revealed nine stab wounds on Olmos’ body, Sgt. Raymond Fong said.

Police said Vera came to the house in a pickup along with another man. The second man, identified by authorities as Patrick O’Bryant, 24, has since been interviewed by police. He has not been arrested or formally accused of any wrongdoing at this point, according to Fong.

Fong said officers are continuing to search for Vera and said it’s unclear whether he is still in the area. Police believe Vera is a member of the Bar Hoppers motorcycle gang, which Fong described as “a feeder gang” for the Hells Angels.

Authorities described Vera as about 5-feet-6-inches tall and weighing about 170 pounds.
