A $15,000 reward is being offered for a man federal officials say rammed two vehicles carrying immigration agents while trying to avoid a stop in North Texas last month.
The Department of Justice said Thursday that 28-year-old Jerson Lopez-Sanchez, a citizen and national of Honduras, faces three counts of assaulting federal immigration agents and is now on the Most Wanted list.
According to the DOJ, the indictment alleges that on Dec. 1, 2025, immigration agents in Lewisville pulled over the driver of a pickup truck that was registered to a person who had previously been removed from the United States. That driver, who had four other occupants in his truck, was identified by the DOJ as Lopez-Sanchez.
The DOJ said the driver stopped along the 2400 block of Stemmons Freeway and that federal agents in three vehicles surrounded the pickup. The DOJ said the agents were “wearing clearly marked law enforcement vests with police identifying insignia as well as carrying federal agent badges.”
Moments after pulling over, the DOJ said Lopez-Sanchez put his truck in reverse and rammed into the vehicle behind him, injuring an agent who had one leg outside of the vehicle when it was struck. Lopez-Sanchez then allegedly drove around the other two vehicles and away from the stop.
Officials said one of the agents was able to position his vehicle between Lopez-Sanchez and an escape route and that Lopez-Sanchez rammed his vehicle into that vehicle, injuring two agents inside.
“Lopez-Sanchez continued to evade with the third vehicle pursuing him onto East Valley Ridge Boulevard in Lewisville for about 10 minutes before the suspect vehicle stopped on a median and all five occupants fled on foot,” the DOJ said.
Three of the occupants were detained after a food chase that included the help of civilians. Lopez-Sanchez, the DOJ said, remains at large and a $15,000 reward is being offered for information that leads to his capture.
NBC News reported that Jay Combs, the U.S. Attorney for the district, told reporters that the ICE agents were clearly identified as law enforcement at the time of the incident.
“When someone runs down an ICE officer — or any federal or local law enforcement officer — those deadly weapons act as battering rams,” Combs said. “It is a violent attack and it will not be tolerated.”
Lopez-Sanchez had no known criminal background or active warrants, according to officials as of Thursday, Combs said.
Anyone with information about Lopez-Sanchez is asked to contact the FBI at 1-800-CALL-FBI or to submit a tip at tips.fbi.gov. Tipsters may remain anonymous.
