Police are looking for a suspect in an attempted homicide who they believe may be fleeing the country.

"We really need help from the public," said Utah County Sheriff Lt. Dennis Harris. "He's making his way back to Mexico."

Rojas is suspected of stabbing a man in the neck with a large kitchen knife just after midnight on Saturday in an unincorporated area near Lehi. The two worked at a mink farm in the area of 10400 W. 9330 North, Harris said.

The suspect has a slight build and was last seen wearing a gray polo-type shirt with gray shorts and black shoes. Anyone who sees Rojas should call 911 immediately.

"We consider an individual like that possibly still armed and dangerous," Harris said. Police have recovered the knife they believe was used in the attack.

A second suspect has been arrested but is not considered the perpetrator in the stabbing.

Alcohol was a factor in the fight and subsequent stabbing, and the initial argument may have in fact been about alcohol.

The victim, who is in his mid-40s, is in the intensive care unit at an area hospital after having surgery, though it was unclear what condition he is in. His name has not been released pending notification of family members.

"He is somewhat established here," Harris said.

Rojas is apparently less established.

"We think we found some false identification of him," Harris said. "He may not be here legally."

Scott McLachlan, the owner of River Jordan mink ranch, where the two worked, said Rojas "came from West Valley, seemed like a good worker and everything, but you just don't know."

Of his legal status, McLachlan said, "These days it seems all you can get to work on a farm are Spanish people. Ninety percent of them are good hard workers."

It's not the first time there's been a stabbing at a McLachlan mink ranch.

"We've had some problems out there in the past," Harris said.

In 2003, Juan Antonio Martinez-Alferez stabbed his common-law wife, Guadalupe Aguayo, eight times and told her she was going to die. He pleaded guilty to attempted manslaughter and attempted aggravated assault, and was subsequently sentenced to two consecutive five-year prison sentences. He will be deported to Mexico after he serves his sentence.

In the event that Rojas makes it to Mexico, he'll join four other suspects being sought by various Utah County law-enforcement agencies:

• A federal warrant was issued in April for the extradition of Raul Brito. He's charged with the December shooting death of his roommate, Manuel Saucedo, in Orem. Brito is a U.S. citizen but has family in Mexico.

• Also in April, the television show "America's Most Wanted" featured Baldemar Reyes-Espino and Yudit Lopez. An arrest warrant was issued in 2006 for Lopez, who is accused of burying her 9-month-old daughter in an orchard in south Utah County. The child may have died from drowning, falling down the stairs or from blunt force. Lopez and her husband, Reyes-Espino, are accused of desecration of a human body.

• Gabriel Hernandez is wanted for the January death of 83-year-old Albert Burns. Police say Hernandez was driving on an icy road in Spanish Fork when he lost control of his car and slid into Burns, killing him. Hernandez, an illegal immigrant, did not show up for his arraignment, and police believe he may have gone back to Mexico. Because he's not charged with a felony, getting him extradited is nearly impossible.
