Houston, Texas – Elijah Turner Reyes, a 24-year-old from El Paso, has been captured after being added to the Texas 10 Most Wanted Fugitives List for murder. The Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) announced Reyes is confirmed to be a member of the Bloods gang and was wanted by the El Paso Police Department since May 22, 2025. Additionally, warrants were issued for him on June 16, 2025, for failing to appear in court on multiple charges, including burglary of habitation, possession of a controlled substance, and assaulting a pregnant woman.
Reyes previously faced serious legal issues, including a conviction for aggravated robbery in 2019 that resulted in a five-year confinement sentence. He was discharged early in January 2024 and was subsequently linked to a series of criminal activities following his release.
As a fugitive, Reyes was reported to be 6 feet tall and weighing approximately 150 pounds. He has several tattoos that make him easily identifiable, including an ‘X’ located below his left eye and the word ‘Omerta’ emblazoned on his left temple. Due to his suspected involvement in serious crimes, law enforcement agencies have warned the public that Reyes should be considered armed and dangerous.
In an effort to capture Reyes, Texas Crime Stoppers has offered a cash reward of up to $7,500 for any information leading to his arrest. Tipsters can report information anonymously by calling the Crime Stoppers hotline at 1-800-252-TIPS (8477), submitting a tip through the DPS website, or via a private message through Facebook. All tips remain confidential, and tipsters are issued a tip number instead of needing to provide their names.
El Paso law enforcement agencies, including local police, have been actively involved in the search for Reyes in coordination with state authorities. His profile has been featured prominently on both Crime Stoppers of El Paso’s Most Wanted list and the Texas 10 Most Wanted Fugitives list, highlighting the serious nature of his charges and the urgency of his capture.
The community has been alerted to remain vigilant and report any sightings or information regarding Reyes, given his dangerous background and propensity for violence. Law enforcement sources encourage the public to come forward if they have any relevant information, assuring them that their identities will remain protected throughout the process.
Elijah Turner Reyes’ history of crime and gang affiliation presents a significant threat to community safety, and authorities are prioritizing his capture. The situation remains fluid as law enforcement continues their pursuit.
