Cardenas is allegedly a member of the Pierce Street Gang and may associate with the Pacoima Van Nuys Boys/Anybody Killas. Cardenas often goes by the nickname “Dollar.”
On April 3, 2020, the Superior Court of Los Angeles County issued a local arrest warrant after Cardenas was charged with murder. The United States District Court, Central District of California, issued a federal arrest warrant on September 2, 2021, after he was charged with unlawful flight to avoid prosecution.
Cardenas is between 5’6’’ and 5’7’’ and weighs approximately 240 to 300 pounds. He has dark brown/black hair, a beard, and brown eyes. Alker said Cardenas is known to vary the style of his hair and facial hair, but his large physical size and glasses may draw attention. “He normally wears thick prescription glasses and has at least one tattoo,” Alker said. Cardenas should be considered armed and dangerous.
