The FBI Dallas Division has announced a reward of up to $50,000 for information leading to the arrest and conviction of Hector Vicente Paguada Paguada, a man wanted in connection with two capital murder cases. Paguada Paguada is accused of shooting and killing two women on January 19, 2024, in Irving, Texas. The incident occurred in front of the five-year-old son of one of the victims, according to federal investigators. Authorities state that Paguada Paguada fled the United States with the assistance of others following the killings and is believed to be located in Honduras. He has reportedly used several aliases, including Hector Antonio Matute and Hector Martinez. A state arrest warrant charging him with capital murder was issued in January 2024, followed by a federal warrant for unlawful flight to avoid prosecution the subsequent month. FBI Dallas Special Agent in Charge R. Joseph Rothrock emphasized the bureau's ongoing commitment to the victims' families, stating, "We will not stop pursuing Hector Paguada Paguada until he is found and held accountable." Derick Miller, Chief of the Irving Police Department, echoed these sentiments, urging the public to come forward with any information that could assist in locating the suspect. The investigation remains active, and investigators are seeking tips regarding Paguada Paguada's whereabouts. Individuals with information are encouraged to contact the FBI at 1-800-CALL-FBI (1-800-225-5324) or submit tips digitally at tips.fbi.gov. All information provided can remain anonymous, and confidentiality is guaranteed. The FBI continues to appeal to the public for assistance in bringing justice to the families affected by these tragic events.
