Florida Highway Patrol Most Wanted Fugitive Killed a Deputy

Agustin Lara-Nonez was traveling on October 22, 2006, in a 2006 Silver Ford Truck westbound on SR 82, approaching Sunshine Blvd. Due to a previous fatal crash investigation, a Lee County Deputy had positioned her marked patrol car facing south in the westbound lane with emergency lights activated.

Lara-Nonez failed to abide by the detour, and as a result, the front of his vehicle struck the deputy’s vehicle, and the deputy was killed. Lara-Nonez was subsequently charged with DUI involving death and has an active felony warrant for his arrest. Lara-Nonez is believed to have fled to Mexico.

Anyone with information on Lara-Nonez’s whereabouts is asked to please contact the FHP at intelligence@flhsmv.gov.
