Vincente Lopez, now believed to be 79, is the top suspect in an unsolved Chester County murder from more than 40 years ago, Pennsylvania State Police said in a release.
Investigators believe Lopez was riding through Marlborough Township in an orange Chevrolet Nova on July 31, 1987.
The car, driven by a now-deceased friend, stopped in front of a boarding house for mushroom farm workers on Schoolhouse Road. Lopez was sitting in the passenger seat, police said.
Lopez began a conversation with a man outside the car, but the two began to argue, authorities wrote.
That's when investigators say Lopez pulled out a gun.
The two men struggled briefly before Lopez shot the victim several times, killing him and fleeing the scene in the orange Nova, according to police.
Authorities are asking anyone with knowledge of Lopez's whereabouts to speak up.
Investigators believe Lopez was married to a woman named Elene Vazquez at the time, and that the couple had a daughter named Rosa Linda.
He is listed as 5-foot-5 and 79 years old with brown eyes and brown/grey hair. He is also a suspect in a 1979 Joliet, Illinois murder, police said.
