Authorities have released the mugshot of Christian Alexander Delgado, the man accused of kidnapping 13-year-old Wynter Wagoner, who disappeared from Rockcastle County, Kentucky, in mid-October.
According to investigators, Wynter Wagoner was reported missing on October 14, 2025, after she disappeared from her foster home in Rockcastle County.
Following weeks of investigation, law enforcement officials confirmed that she was found safe Friday afternoon inside a residence in the 12000 block of Dalewood Drive in Silver Spring, Maryland, just outside Washington, D.C.
The Montgomery County Police Department, working alongside U.S. Marshals, responded to a tip shortly before 6 p.m. Officers located Wagoner inside the home along with Christian Alexander Delgado, 37, who was taken into custody without incident.
Delgado was arrested on a kidnapping warrant issued by Kentucky authorities.
Wagoner was transported to a nearby hospital for medical evaluation as a precaution.
Police have not released details regarding her condition but confirmed she was located safely.
Delgado is currently being held at the Montgomery County Central Processing Unit in Maryland.
Authorities said he is awaiting extradition to Kentucky, where he faces a kidnapping charge. Court records indicate Delgado is being held on a $1 million bond.
Investigators have not yet disclosed how Wagoner traveled from Kentucky to Maryland or how long she had been at the Silver Spring residence.
The investigation remains ongoing, and additional details have not been released.
Wagoner’s family told local media that they do not know Delgado, and authorities have not commented on any prior connection between the suspect and the victim.
Law enforcement officials continue to ask anyone with information related to the case to contact authorities as the investigation proceeds.
Orlando, Fla. — Family and friends of 33-year-old Julien Emmanuel Cruz are seeking answers and accountability following his fatal shooting outside a popular LGBTQ+ nightclub early Sunday morning.
According to the Orlando Police Department, officers responded at approximately 2:31 a.m. on February 22, 2026, to the 1900 block of North Orange Avenue, just north of Lake Ivanhoe, in reference to a reported shooting.
Upon arrival, officers located Cruz suffering from an apparent gunshot wound. He was transported to a local hospital, where he later succumbed to his injuries. Authorities confirmed Cruz was born May 18, 1992.
Detectives determined that prior to the shooting, Cruz and the suspect were involved in a verbal and physical altercation on the sidewalk outside the nightclub district. Investigators say that during the dispute, the suspect retrieved a firearm from his vehicle and shot Cruz.
The suspect fled the scene in a vehicle, which patrol officers later located in the 200 block of East New Hampshire Avenue, approximately two blocks from where the shooting occurred.
Police subsequently arrested 37-year-old Jean Gabriel Borja Gil De La Madr (DOB: October 29, 1988). He has been charged with Second Degree Murder with a Firearm. Authorities confirmed this case marks the third homicide in Orlando in 2026.
Cruz’s father, Anthony Cruz, said his son and his partner had been at Savoy Orlando enjoying the evening before the violence unfolded.
According to the family, as the couple exited the club after closing time, a vehicle sped past them. Cruz’s partner allegedly yelled toward the occupants of the vehicle, prompting the car to stop. A physical altercation then reportedly began between Cruz’s partner and one of the individuals from the vehicle.
“When they fought, my son saw that was happening. My son went to intervene, and when he intervened, another guy got out of the car, and he got shot,” Anthony Cruz said. “My son didn’t deserve what happened. All I have left is a shirt — a shirt with a bullet hole.”
While police have charged Borja Gil De La Madr, Cruz’s family maintains that another individual may have been directly responsible for pulling the trigger. Authorities have not publicly confirmed whether additional suspects are being sought.
A small memorial has formed across from the nightclub, where members of the community have gathered to honor Cruz’s memory.
Joshua Cooper, owner of Savoy Orlando, said the tragedy has deeply impacted the LGBTQ+ community, even though the shooting occurred off the club’s property.
“I didn’t know the victim, but from everything I’ve been told, I wish I had,” Cooper said. “He seemed like a great kid. Seeing a family that is so heartbroken and so supportive of this community says so much.”
The Orlando Police Department has not released additional information regarding potential additional suspects. Detectives continue to investigate the circumstances surrounding the altercation and shooting.
Anyone with information related to this case is encouraged to contact the Orlando Police Department or Crimeline.
The investigation remains active.
