CARNEYS POINT TWP. The suspect in an attempted murder who assaulted a man with a meat cleaver here remains on the loose, while police continue to reach out to the Latino community in an attempt to apprehend their fugitive.
Isaias Reynosa Perez a.k.a. "Challo," 26, allegedly attacked Rony Solares, 27, after an altercation at a farm labor camp at 1111 Courses Landing Road. Both are said to be migrant workers from Mexico. Police were dispatched at approximately 6:03 a.m. on Aug. 4 for a reported stabbing.
According to officials, Solares faced life-threatening injuries after being cut on the top of his head and on the sides of his neck with a meat cleaver. He was transported to Christiana Hospital where he underwent surgery to close his wounds, which included the surgical reattachment of parts of both ears. He has since been released.
Perez initially posed as a witness to the incident and allegedly provided false information to authorities in reference to the crime when he was questioned. According to police, he has been charged with two counts of aggravated assault, attempted murder, possession of a weapon for an unlawful purpose, unlawful possession of a weapon, providing false information to implicate another and hindering apprehension. According to authorities, Perez is considered dangerous.
As a result of the investigation Joel Gonzalez, 39, of U.S. Route 40 in Carneys Point, was charged with providing false documents and hindering apprehension. He was lodged in the Salem County Correctional Facility in lieu of $5,000 bail. Police believe he was not involved in the assault on Solares and that Perez acted alone.
"We are working collectively with federal authorities and members of the Latino community in Southern New Jersey in an attempt to locate Perez," said Salem County Chief of Detectives Ralph Padilla.
Anyone with information on the whereabouts of Perez is urged to contact the Carneys Point Township Police at 299-1212 or the Salem County Prosecutor's Office Tip Line at 935-8119.
