José Fernando Bustos-Díaz, a 37-year-old Mexican national, remains the only Hispanic fugitive on the U.S. Marshals Service's 15 Most Wanted Fugitives list as of August 2026. Authorities describe him as armed and dangerous and the prime suspect in a second homicide, in addition to his conviction for murder. Bustos-Díaz escaped from the Texas Department of Criminal Justice in 2010 while serving a 35-year sentence. The escape occurred in Frio County, Texas, where he fled alongside another inmate. Investigators believe he crossed into Mexico shortly after the breakout and has been receiving assistance from friends and relatives to evade capture. The U.S. Marshals Service offers a reward of up to $25,000 for information leading directly to his arrest. Bustos-Díaz is described as a white male of Hispanic or Latino descent, standing approximately 5 feet 8 inches tall and weighing about 160 pounds. He has distinctive tattoos, including a heart with a cross on his left hand and the names Vanessa and Lizeth on his wrists, as well as facial acne scars. The U.S. Marshals Service urges anyone with information not to approach him due to his violent history but to submit tips directly to the agency or local law enforcement. The 15 Most Wanted Fugitive Program, established in 1983, focuses resources on the nation's most dangerous criminals. In 2025, the Marshals Service arrested or cleared more than 84,000 fugitives nationwide. Bustos-Díaz's continued presence on the list highlights the ongoing efforts to apprehend high-risk offenders who have evaded capture for extended periods.
