Police are seeking a 20-year-old Seattle man who has been charged in the fatal stabbing of a Bellevue high school student in May. On May 22, Ivan Hernandez-Vazquez was found dead in an alley in the 6800 block of 51st Avenue Northeast, in Seattle's View Ridge neighborhood. The 18-year-old Interlake High School student was last seen alive the day before, when he told his guardian he was on his way to wire money to his grandmother in Mexico.
Police questioned Jose Ruiz-Antonio, who was with Hernandez-Vazquez when he was last seen. Ruiz-Antonio said the two went to Redmond Town Center before he dropped Hernandez-Vazquez off near Bellevue. Police said that Ruiz-Antonio disappeared shortly after they questioned him.
In June, police found Ruiz-Antonio's Honda Civic abandoned near Shoreline and found dried blood on a seat cushion, according to the charging papers filed on Aug. 12. Crime analysts with the State Patrol tested the blood and found that it matched Hernandez-Vazquez's DNA profile, charging documents said.
Ruiz-Antonio has been charged by warrant for second-degree murder. King County prosecutors requested that once Ruiz-Antonio is found that he be held on $1 million bail.
