Moorhead Police Searching For Armed Suspect

Moorhead, MN (KDLM) – The Moorhead Police Department is asking for the public’s help in finding an “armed and dangerous” man suspected of a fatal shooting in North Dakota.

Law enforcement is looking for 25-year-old Oscar Junior Andujar Ortiz, who is wanted in connection to a shooting death in rural Killdeer, North Dakota, which happened on Sunday, July 25.

The North Dakota Bureau of Criminal Investigation (BCI) believes Ortiz was seen around the 3600 block of 8th Street South in Moorhead, so officers responded and believed to have seen Ortiz run west away from the area.

His vehicle was found on Rivershore Drive South and was impounded.

Police used a K9 and a drone team to track him, but he wasn’t located.

He’s described as a 5-foot-5 Hispanic man who weighs 160 pounds. He was wearing blue jeans and either a long sleeve blue t-shirt or no shirt.  MPD says Ortiz should be considered “armed and dangerous,” and anyone who has immediate information about him should call 911.

The Moorhead PD is asking property owners to check their surveillance equipment for Ortiz. Anyone with delayed information is asked to contact the Red River Valley Regional Dispatch Center at 701-451-7660 and ask to speak with a Moorhead supervisor.
