Joseph Matos, a 44-year-old Hispanic male, has been added to the FBI’s Ten Most Wanted Fugitives list in connection with the fatal shooting of Illinois National Guardsman Chrys Carvajal. The incident occurred on July 3, 2021, in the Belmont Cragin neighborhood of Chicago, where Carvajal was shot while walking to his car following an Independence Day celebration. Federal authorities allege that Matos, a member of the Milwaukee Kings street gang, committed the murder due to rival gang tensions. Matos is described as standing 6-feet-2 inches tall and weighing approximately 220 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes. He bears several distinctive tattoos, including "M-Town Kings" on the right side of his neck, "1300" on the left side of his neck, "Move in Silence" on his right hand, "Trust No One" on his left hand, and "MOST WANTED" on his belly. An arrest warrant for Matos was issued in 2024, and the FBI’s Chicago office confirmed that the search for his whereabouts remains active. While Matos has ties to Dallas and California, investigators believe he is currently hiding in the greater Chicago area. The FBI has offered a reward of up to $1 million for information leading to his apprehension. Special Agent in Charge Ryan Whalen emphasized that adding Matos to the list ensures his image is disseminated widely across FBI-affiliated websites and social media platforms to aid in his capture. The FBI is urging anyone with information regarding Matos’s location to contact them immediately. The public can call the FBI’s toll-free tip line at 1-800-CALL-FBI (1-800-225-5324) or submit tips through the FBI’s official website. This case remains open as law enforcement continues to seek Matos, who is still at large.
