A military veteran wanted in connection with an attack on an ICE detention facility in Texas continued to evade capture as the FBI’s search entered its 10th day on Monday.
Benjamin Hanil Song, 32, from Dallas, was identified as a suspect on Thursday, almost a week following his alleged involvement in an organized assault with 10 to 12 others on officers at the Prairieland Detention Center in Alvarado, Texas, on July 4. While ten participants were taken into custody, Song managed to escape, according to authorities.
“We believe he is somewhere in the Dallas-Fort Worth area but have expanded our publicity efforts to neighboring states just in case,” the FBI Dallas Field Office informed Fox News Digital on Monday.
The FBI noted that it is still offering a $25,000 reward for information leading to Song’s arrest and conviction. The bureau previously said Song should be considered armed and dangerous.
The Alvarado police officer was shot in the neck by a suspect in the woods, according to the complaint. Another assailant fired dozens of rounds at unarmed correctional officers who had stepped outside the facility.
The FBI is offering a $25,000 reward for information leading to Song’s arrest and conviction.
Song faces three counts of attempted murder of a federal officer and three counts of discharging a firearm in furtherance of a crime of violence.
