The sheriff's office says Fonseca is 5'7" and 150lbs. Salazar is 5'7 and 170lbs. Both are Hispanic with black hair and brown eyes. They have been in custody since 2018.
Officials say an investigation is underway to determine their means of escape. The agency also says if you see the men to call 911 immediately. Do not approach them as they are considered dangerous.
A call seeking additional details from sheriff's officials was not immediately returned.
Monterey is a city of about 28,000 people on the central coast, 100 miles south of San Francisco.
