This unexpected development brings an end to a 20-year manhunt that began in December 2004, when Riano, now 72, shot and killed a man outside a bar in Hamilton, Ohio. The incident occurred four days before Christmas in 2004. Riano became involved in a dispute with 25-year-old Benjamin Beccera at the Roundhouse Bar. The altercation continued outside the establishment, where surveillance footage captured Riano drawing a gun and fatally shooting Beccera in the face. Following the murder, Riano fled, initially visiting his sister in New Jersey before vanishing completely.
