Rodriguez, a spokesman for the police department, said Granjas was last seen at 7240 West 2nd Lane, a townhome about a block away from the park at 401 E 65th St.

This isn't the first time Granjas runs away from police officers. Miami-Dade County court records show Granjas was also considered a fugitive in 2010 when he was extradited over aggravated assault with a deadly weapon charges in Texas' Randall County. 

Detectives are asking anyone with information about Granjas to call 305-687-2525 or Miami-Dade Crime Stoppers at 305-471-8477.
