Description
Washington County authorities are searching for Pedro Argote, the suspect in the killing of circuit court judge Andrew Wilkinson. The attack is believed to be targeted, stemming from a contentious divorce hearing where Wilkinson granted custody to Argotay's wife. Police executed a search warrant at Argotay's residence, initiating a widespread manhunt with ties to several states including New York, Florida, and Indiana. While Argotay lacks a prior criminal record, deputies previously responded to his home for domestic disturbances. The incident has deeply affected the local community and sparked a state-wide concern.
