Police in Texas launched a manhunt for a murder suspect on the run after he allegedly chased down and hacked his neighbor to death in full public glare. Even while Charlie Wilson was down and apparently deceased Alvaro Lovos stabbed him 15 more times, CCTV footage shows.
Houston police believe the armed assailant seen in the footage chasing down, 67-year-old Charlie Wilson outside a convenience store in Houston, around 11pm on Tuesday, November 19, to be the victim’s neighbor, Alvaro Lovos, 52.
CCTV footage shows Lovos chasing down Wilson before slashing him 25 times with a machete, according to Houston Police. Wilson was already lying motionless on the ground after he was hit ten times, but Lovos continued hacking him another 15 times.
The body was reportedly found just a few steps from his stairwell. 
Speaking with local station KTRK, Wilson’s family are pointing to flaws in the conduct of the investigations. The now fugitive killer spoke to them as well as law enforcement from murder scene while still covered in blood they said.
Lovos also to police at the scene in the same bloodied clothing, claiming that he had tried to help Wilson, adding that he had seen two men walking away the prone victim.
They have raised the question of why the suspect was released, despite speaking to an officer at the scene wearing bloodied clothes.

Lovos remains a fugitive, but the victim’s family believe he will be caught.
Willie Ray Wilson said he went to the convenience store, where Charlie Wilson used to do odd jobs, following a call from a neighbor. On arrival, he found his fatally injured brother and called 911. 
Charlie Wilson was later pronounced dead at the scene from ‘multiple sharp force injuries with chop wounds of the head and neck,’ according to the autopsy report.
Police recovered the alleged murder weapon, a bloodied machete at the scene. 
Witnesses identified the suspect as Alvaro Lovos, who lived in an apartment building next door, adding that he was a regular customer at the convenience store. A motive for the killing has not been determined. 
Willie Ray Wilson fears he might be next on the hit list for the neighbor who murdered his brother: ‘He might try to double back and do me,’ Willie Ray said while he maintains: ‘They’re gonna get him. He can run, but he can’t hide.
‘They’ll soon catch up with him. He ain’t gonna get away.’
