The killing of Edgar Perez in August has finally produced a person of interest.

Police at the 52nd Precinct are now tracking the whereabouts of 20-year-old Alexis Flores (pictured left), wanted in the shooting death of Perez during the overnight hours of Aug. 25. Perez had been shot while outside a baptism party for his granddaughter being held at the Church of the Holy Nativity on Bainbridge Avenue between Rochambeau Avenue and East 204th Street.

The new lead comes three months after Perez’s son, Edgar Jr., said the police have given him little in the way of an update. Edgar Perez, Jr., 22, said his family moved out of their home in the days after the killing, but still reside in Norwood. “They haven’t called me or anything. We call them and ask if they caught him or if they knew anything new about the guy and they just say that they’re on his trail,” said Perez Jr. back in October, of the investigation.

Flores is described by police as Hispanic, standing at around 5’ 8”, with a thin build and dark hair. Investigators believe Flores could be in Connecticut at this point.
