BOSTON -- The FBI is offering a reward for information leading to the arrest of a California man wanted in connection with his wife's slaying near Los Angeles.

The bureau said Napoleon Castro, 35, also known as "Napo" or "Trouble," has ties to the Worcester area and may have fled to Massachusetts after he was charged with the death of his estranged wife on May 1 in Pacoima, Calif.
The FBI said the victim's body was found lying in a pool of blood at the entrance to her garage and evidence obtained by responding LAPD detectives indicated she had been stabbed multiple times.
Based on an investigation by the Los Angeles Police Department, Castro was charged with murder and torture by the Superior Court of California, County of Los Angeles, and a state warrant was issued for his arrest on May 5, 2010.
They said the Salvadoran native is about 5 feet, 5 inches tall, with black hair and brown eyes,
The FBI said Castro is known to have various tattoos, including a female face and a male clown face on his left arm; a naked female on his right arm; "Eddie Castro Jr" on his chest; "OLGA" on his chest; a hornet on the left side of his chest; "Born A Sinner" on his left arm; and "Die A Sinner" on his right arm.
He also has a horizontal scar on his chin just below his lip and a vertical scar from his abdomen to his chest, the bureau said.
Castro should be considered armed and dangerous, the FBI said, and anyone with information as to Castro’s whereabouts was urged to contact the nearest FBI office or the nearest American Embassy or Consulate.
