Kevin Alvarado, 34, was arrested after spending 11 years on the lam, but a judge just dismissed the murder case against him.
OAKLAND — After Richmond resident Michael Mayfield was stabbed to death at a Berkeley residence in February 2010, the prime suspect, Kevin Alvardo, spent 11 years evading capture before being arrested in Mexico.
Mayfield, 40, was stabbed to death at around 7:40 p.m. on Feb. 11, 2010, at a home on the 2100 block of Curtis Street in Berkeley. Witnesses identified Alvarado as the stabber, and authorities alleged at the time he was a member of a west Berkeley subset of a Northern California street gang. But in pretrial hearings, the prosecution’s case began to falter, according to court papers filed by Alvarado’s attorney. It came about when witnesses who were inside the Curtis Street home testified that Mayfield had threatened a woman in the group, telling her, “I’m coming over, I’m going to you up.”
A witness also told police he saw Alvarado open the front door and then “a stabbing motion.” Afterwards, Briggs, Alvarado, and others chased Mayfield and Briggs allegedly hit him with a pipe, authorities say.
