AUSTIN, Texas — The Texas Department of Public Safety has added Romeo Torres Jr., 28, to its Texas 10 Most Wanted Fugitive list. A cash reward of up to $7,500 is being offered for information leading to his capture.
Torres, who is affiliated with the Partido Revolucionario Mexicano (PRM) gang, is wanted for assault on a public servant; aggravated assault; and evading arrest/detention with a vehicle.
Torres has been wanted since December 2016, when he absconded from his last known address in Eagle Pass, an area where DPS said he still has connections. Torres also has ties to Mexico.
He is 6 feet, 1 inch tall, and weighs approximately 230 lbs and has tattoos on his right leg and both arms.
For more information or updates in the event of his arrest, see his wanted bulletin.
Texas Crime Stoppers, funded by the Governor’s Criminal Justice Division, offers cash rewards to any person who provides information that leads to the arrest of one of the Texas 10 Most Wanted fugitives or sex offenders. In 2019, Texas Crime Stoppers paid $40,500 in total rewards for anonymous tips that resulted in arrests.
To be eligible for cash rewards, tipsters are required to provide information to authorities using one of the following methods:
- Call the Crime Stoppers hotline at 800-252-8477;
- Submit a web tip through the DPS website by selecting the fugitive you have information about, then clicking on the link under the photo;
- Submit a Facebook tip by clicking the “SUBMIT A TIP” link (under the “About” section).
All tips are anonymous, regardless of how they are submitted, and tipsters will be provided a tip number instead of using a name.
DPS investigators work with local law enforcement agencies to select fugitives for the Texas 10 Most Wanted Fugitive and Sex Offender lists. You can find the current lists, with photos, on the DPS website.
Do not attempt to apprehend these fugitives as they are considered armed and dangerous.
