On February 4, 2010, it is alleged Caro engaged in an argument with Hugo Armand Navarro over Navarro's relationship with Caro's ex-girlfriend outside the Elgin city residence. Caro then shot Navarro four times in the chest and once in the head killing the man at the scene. Caro is then believed to have begun his flight to escape legal prosecution. Attempts to locate and apprehend Caro after the shooting was unsuccessful, but Caro's ex-girlfriend did receive two telephone calls from Caro. One call was traced to a pay phone in Gary, Indiana. The other traced to a cell phone registered in Corpus Christi, Texas.

The U.S. Marshals Service Gulf Coast Violent Offenders Task Force used the information to track Caro to his uncle's home in Refugio, Texas. However, family members said Caro had already left for Laredo, Texas, which is located on the U.S.-Mexico border.

Even though, Caro may have crossed over the border into Mexico. He is not completely lost. Caro has the word "JALISCO" tattooed across his back. Jalisco is the fourth most populous federal state in Mexico, and is located in the central-western region of the country. Jalisco has a significant share of Mexico's coastline on the Pacific Ocean. It is also one of the most developed Mexican states in terms of culture, trade and economics in the country. Therefore, in some areas of the state the standard of living is comparable to those found in European countries. Nonetheless, Jalisco does have widespread economic inequalities throughout the state. The capital city of Jalisco is Guadalajara. The metropolitan area of Guadalajara includes the municipalities of Guadalajara, Juanacatlán, El Salto, Tlaquepaque, Tonala, Tlajomulco de Zuñiga, Ixtlahuacán de los Membrillos and Zapopan, which forms the second largest metropolitan area in Mexico. Obviously, from his tattoo, Caro is either is from, or has visited this Mexican state and may have decided to relocate to Jalisco, Mexico. Additionally, citizens of Jalisco should beware that this fugitive killer may possibly be roaming their barrios (Jalisco Mexicana Asesino Fugitivos).

However, Caro's tattoo could also refer to the Jalisco Soccer League based in Chicago. Maybe Caro is a fan of the league? Tattoo's always have some personal significance and can be used to help identify fugitives. Caro's large Jalisco tattoo is no different. It has personal significance to Caro and is an identifying symbol, which can be seen on the man's back when shirtless.

• Birth Date: November 23, 1977
• Height: 67 inches
• Weight: 180 pounds

Lastly, love makes people do crazy things. Caro may attempt to return to the United States to rekindle his relationship with his ex-girlfriend. If so, Chicagoans need to be alert and ready to inform their local police in order to have this threat removed from the streets.
