Massachusetts State Police add two to list of “Most Wanted” fugitives; Suspects wanted in separate shootings

The Massachusetts State Police today added two new suspects to our Most Wanted Fugitives list, each involved in separate shootings in Springfield. Both men are actively being sought by the State Police Violent Fugitive Apprehension Section and Springfield Police.

DANIEL L. RODRIGUEZ, 18 (turns 19 on May 12), is wanted on charges of armed assault with intent to murder, aggravated assault and battery with a dangerous weapon, intimidation of a witness, and unlawful carrying of a loaded firearm, all in connection with a shooting that occurred on Dwight Street, Springfield, on the night of July 28, 2018. Responding Springfield officers located a male victim with a gunshot wound to his neck; the man survived but was paralyzed from his chest down. After an extensive investigation, Springfield Police identified RODRIGUEZ as the suspected shooter and obtained a warrant for his arrest in January 2019.

Intelligence indicates RODRIGUEZ is a member of the Worthy Boys Posse street gang. He is believed to be actively trying to evade law enforcement and should be considered armed and dangerous. He is Hispanic, with light skin, about 5’ 11” tall and 150 lbs., with brown hair and brown eyes. He is also known by aliases “Bebo,” “X,” and “Dex,” and has a tattoo of the word “Kailiane” on his left forearm.

ALECZANDER LIRIANO, 21, is wanted on charges of assault and battery with a firearm, armed robbery, and discharging a firearm within 500 feet of a building following the shooting of a female victim on the morning of March 5, 2019 at the intersection of Dickinson Street and Lansing Place in Springfield. The woman, who was shot in the torso, suffered serious injuries but survived. An investigation by Springfield Police determined that LIRIANO allegedly shot the woman during a street robbery, and detectives obtained an arrest warrant. LIRIANO is also wanted on a separate warrant for breaking and entering.

LIRIANO is aware he is being sought by law enforcement and should be considered armed and dangerous; he has ties throughout western Massachusetts. LIRIANO is Hispanic, with light skin, about 6’2” tall and 180 lbs., with dark brown hair and brown/hazel eyes. He is also known by the aliases “Alec,” “Krazy,” and “Crazy,” and has two tattoos of note: The word “Amparo” on his left forearm and the word “Moe” on his left wrist, and has a small scar on one of his hands.

Anyone who sees either DANIEL RODRIGUEZ or ALECZANDER LIRIANO should not approach them, but should call 911 immediately. Anyone with information about their whereabouts should call 911 or State Police Violent Fugitive Apprehension Section at 1-800-KAPTURE (1-800-527-8873).
