Las Vegas Police Seek Public’s Help in Locating Wanted Robbery Suspect

Las Vegas Metropolitan Police are asking for the community’s assistance in locating Joaquin Pedroego Carrasco, also known as Francisco Escobar-Garcia, who is wanted for robbery and battery with intent to commit robbery. Carrasco, 45, has an active warrant from the Clark County District Court.

Identifying Carrasco may be easier thanks to his distinctive tattoos, which include an image of Jesus Christ on his chest and the Spanish phrase “Perdon Madre Mia Por Mi Vida Loca” on his right leg.

Carrasco has a criminal history, including a 2021 case where he and another man allegedly kidnapped and stabbed a victim who believed he was meeting a woman from a dating app. That incident escalated into charges of attempted murder and extortion.

Authorities encourage anyone with information on Carrasco’s whereabouts to contact Crime Stoppers at 702-385-5555 or the LVMPD Commercial Robbery Section at 702-828-3591.
