Where is Octavio Montano Islas?

Octavio Montano Islas, Long Beach Police Dept.

Years later, Octavio Montano Islas is still at large. Janice Hahn stated that the Los Angeles Board of Supervisors renewed the $10000 reward for information leading to the suspect's capture in January of 2025. Long Beach Police say they are still “actively” searching for Octavio Montano Islas, the man they say left the Bottoms Up bar on March 1, 2022 after a confrontation with someone in the bar.

Islas apparently lost control of his 2014 Dodge Ram pickup and smashed into the front of an apartment building just north of the bar. The impact killed a man and his daughter sleeping inside. Police said the driver abandoned the truck and fled.

Los Angeles and Long Beach have agreed to fund a $25,000 reward for anyone providing information leading to the capture of the suspect.
