PHILADELPHIA, Pa. — The FBI is seeking the public’s help in locating Miguel Angel Aguilar Ojeda, a fugitive wanted in connection with the 2024 murder of his wife in Philadelphia. Authorities consider him armed and dangerous.
Ojeda, 34, is accused of killing his wife on October 27 and fleeing the area shortly after. He faces multiple state charges including murder, possessing instruments of crime, abuse of a corpse, and tampering with evidence. A local arrest warrant was issued by the Philadelphia County Court on October 30.
On November 21, a federal warrant was issued by the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, charging Ojeda with unlawful flight to avoid prosecution. He has not been seen since and is believed to have fled the state, with possible ties to Camden, New Jersey; Philadelphia; and Mexico.
Ojeda is described as 5 feet 4 inches tall, weighing 240 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes. He has tattoos on both wrists, including the name “Miguelito” in black script with a yellow crown on his right wrist. He is known to work as a painter and construction laborer and speaks both Spanish and English.
Reward offered for information leading to arrest
The FBI is offering a reward of up to $25,000 for information that leads to Ojeda’s location and arrest. Investigators warn that Ojeda should be considered armed and dangerous and advise the public not to approach him.
Anyone with information is urged to contact the FBI’s Philadelphia Field Office or the nearest U.S. Embassy or Consulate.
A federal manhunt is underway for Miguel Angel Aguilar Ojeda, who is accused of killing his wife and fleeing across state or international lines.
