The Antioch Police Department is requesting the public’s help in locating a suspect in a homicide that occurred on Tuesday, June 11, 2013. The victim was a 71-year-old male named Ronald Henry Rush who was killed in his home, 4405 Horseshoe Circle in Antioch, sometime around June 10th and June 11th of 2013. The victim was killed as a result of blunt force trauma to the head.

The investigation has revealed that Ruslan Yaroslavovich Bazelyan had befriended the victim sometime around the beginning of June, 2013. Since that time, the victim had been allowing Bazelyan to stay at his residence for at least a week before the homicide. Following the homicide, Bazelyan fled the location with the victim’s car and cell phone. It is believed that Bazelyan is either in the Sacramento or San Francisco area possibly doing work as an auto mechanic or auto body repairman.

The Antioch Police Department currently holds a warrant for Bazelyan’s arrest for the charges of murder and vehicle theft.
