Authorities are hoping an increase in reward money will bring them closer to capturing a Texas inmate who escaped a transport bus after allegedly stabbing the driver.
He was convicted in 2006 of killing a man along the Texas-Mexico border and was serving a life sentence for capital murder.
The $50,000 reward includes a $35,000 reward from the Texas Department of Public Safety, a $10,000 reward from U.S. Marshals and a $5,000 reward from the TDCJ OIG.“We will not rest until Lopez is caught,” said Executive Director Bryan Collier in a statement. “I want to personally thank all of the agencies who are assisting in this massive search and those agencies that are contributing to the reward. Should you have information on his whereabouts, please contact the Crime Stoppers tip line.
