Mugshot grid featuring 10 fugitives wanted by Crime Stoppers of El Paso and local law enforcement

Crime Stoppers of El Paso is asking the public to help authorities locate 10 people featured on its latest Most Wanted list, with cases spanning several types of alleged offences and involving multiple law-enforcement agencies. The appeal puts renewed attention on outstanding cases across the El Paso area, where information from the public may help investigators locate individuals they are seeking.

Published by KTSM on October 23, 2026, the list features 10 individuals wanted in connection with charges ranging from unauthorised use of a vehicle and assault allegations to DWI offences and felony escape. A Crime Stoppers-supplied gallery published by KFOX/CBS4 for the week of October 24 also identifies the same individuals and their listed offences.

El Paso Most Wanted List: Who Are the 10 Individuals?

Crime Stoppers of El Paso publishes photographs and descriptions of people sought by local law-enforcement agencies through its weekly Most Wanted feature. The programme encourages members of the public to share information anonymously.

The latest list includes individuals sought by the El Paso Police Department, El Paso County Sheriff’s Office, El Paso District Attorney’s Office, Criminal Justice Coordination Department and El Paso County Constable’s Office.

The listed offences and bond amounts vary, and some entries do not include a bond. Here is a closer look at the 10 people identified in the October 2026 reports.

He is wanted in connection with a charge of unauthorised use of a vehicle. His listed bond is $5,000, and the Criminal Justice Coordination Department is identified as the agency seeking him.

The Crime Stoppers wanted-person database also contains records for Seanez Jr. and other individuals featured in wanted listings, providing information about the agencies and charges associated with their respective cases.

He is wanted in connection with a criminal mischief charge. His listed bond is $5,000, and the El Paso Police Department is identified as the agency seeking him.

Carrillo-Rodriguez also appeared in an earlier October 2026 Crime Stoppers Most Wanted report. That report described the underlying property-damage charge in greater statutory detail, while the October 23 KTSM report uses the broader term criminal mischief.

4. Edgar Leyva

Edgar Leyva, 28, is listed as 6 feet 1 inch tall and weighing 181 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes.

Leyva is wanted in connection with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. His listed bond is $10,000, and the El Paso Police Department is identified as the agency seeking him.

He also appeared in an earlier October 2026 Most Wanted report. His continued appearance on the latest list does not establish when the underlying case began. The current KFOX/CBS4 gallery continues to identify him in connection with the same charge.

5. Jose Manuel Aguirre

Jose Manuel Aguirre, 55, is described as 6 feet tall and weighing 200 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes.

Aguirre is wanted in connection with criminal non-support. No bond is listed, and the agency seeking him is identified as the El Paso County Constable’s Office for Precinct 3.

The available listing does not provide further circumstances surrounding the allegation, so no additional details about the underlying case can be established from the charge description alone.

6. Luis Socorro Caudillo

Luis Socorro Caudillo, 30, is listed as 5 feet 6 inches tall and weighing 175 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes.

He is wanted in connection with a charge described as attack by dog resulting in serious bodily injury. No bond is listed, and the El Paso County Sheriff’s Office is identified as the agency seeking him.

The KFOX/CBS4 gallery similarly describes Caudillo as wanted in connection with a dog attack resulting in serious bodily injury. The available reporting does not establish additional circumstances surrounding the incident.

7. Humberto Flaco

Humberto Flaco, 56, is described as 5 feet 11 inches tall and weighing 170 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes.

Flaco is wanted in connection with DWI with a blood alcohol concentration equal to or greater than 0.15. His listed bond is $5,000, and the El Paso County Sheriff’s Office is identified as the agency seeking him.

The current KFOX/CBS4 gallery also identifies Flaco in connection with a DWI offence involving a blood alcohol concentration greater than 0.15.

8. Jesus Emmanuel Solis

Jesus Emmanuel Solis, 36, is listed as 6 feet 1 inch tall and weighing 230 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes.

Solis is wanted in connection with two listed charges: aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and cruelty to a non-livestock animal involving killing, poisoning or causing serious bodily injury.

No bond is listed, and the El Paso County Sheriff’s Office is identified as the agency seeking him. The Crime Stoppers-supplied KFOX/CBS4 gallery independently identifies Solis with the same two categories of charges.

The available verified reporting does not provide additional details about the alleged incidents.

9. Gabriel Maldonado Chavez

Gabriel Maldonado Chavez, 55, is described as 5 feet 8 inches tall and weighing 170 pounds, with black and gray hair and brown eyes.

He is wanted in connection with third or more DWI with a previous conviction. His listed bond is $25,000, and the El Paso County Sheriff’s Office is identified as the agency seeking him.

The current KFOX/CBS4 gallery also lists Maldonado Chavez in connection with a third-or-more DWI offence.

10. Ismael Valdez

How to Submit an Anonymous Tip to Crime Stoppers of El Paso

Members of the public who have information about the whereabouts of anyone featured on the Most Wanted list can contact Crime Stoppers of El Paso at (915) 566-8477 (TIPS) or submit information through the organisation’s online tip system.

Crime Stoppers says tipsters can remain anonymous. A person whose information leads to an arrest may also qualify for a cash reward.

The organisation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that encourages people to report information anonymously and provides monetary rewards for qualifying tips. According to Crime Stoppers, its tips have contributed to 4,711 arrests and 6,534 cleared cases, while tipsters have received more than $1.2 million in rewards.

Founded in 1978, Crime Stoppers of El Paso describes itself as the second official Crime Stoppers programme in the world and the first in Texas.

What Does Being on the El Paso Most Wanted List Mean?

A place on a Most Wanted list means that authorities are seeking an individual in connection with the charge or charges identified in the listing. It does not, by itself, establish that the person committed an alleged offence or has been convicted.

That distinction matters because the October list covers several agencies and different types of cases. Each entry reflects the information associated with the relevant law-enforcement matter, rather than a final determination of guilt.

Bond amounts also do not establish guilt or determine the ultimate outcome of a case. Warrants, bond conditions, case circumstances and legal status can change as proceedings continue. Where later updates become available, the relevant law-enforcement or court records should be consulted for further information.

Crime Stoppers is asking the public to share relevant information through its designated reporting channels. People should not attempt to confront, detain or otherwise intervene with anyone they believe appears on the list. Investigations and arrests should be handled by law enforcement.

Conclusion

The October 2026 El Paso Most Wanted list identifies 10 individuals sought by several local agencies in connection with a range of alleged offences. The October 23 KTSM report and the Crime Stoppers-supplied KFOX/CBS4 gallery published for the week of October 24 identify the same 10 people and their listed charges.

Crime Stoppers is encouraging anyone with relevant information to call (915) 566-8477 (TIPS) or use its online tip system. Tips can be submitted anonymously, and qualifying information may make the tipster eligible for a cash reward. The public is urged to use official reporting channels and leave any enforcement action to the authorities.
