AUSTIN – The Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) has added Benjamin Song to the Texas 10 Most Wanted Fugitives List. Texas Crime Stoppers is now offering a cash reward of up to $10,000 for information leading to his arrest. All tips are guaranteed to be anonymous. The Federal Bureau of Investigation is also offering a reward of up to $25,000 for information leading to Song’s arrest and conviction.
Benjamin Hanil Song, 32, is wanted for his alleged involvement in the July 4, 2025, attack on the United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement Detention Facility in Alvarado, Texas. During that attack, an Alvarado Police Officer was shot. Johnson County has now issued warrants for aggravated assault on a public servant, aiding terrorism and engaging in organized crime. A federal arrest warrant has also been issued in the United States District Court, Northern District of Texas, after Song was charged with attempted murder of a federal officer and discharging a firearm during, in relation to and furtherance of a crime of violence.
Song is 5 feet 6 inches tall and weighs about 150 pounds. He has ties to Dallas County, including the cities of Dallas and Addison. Song is also the subject of a Blue Alert, which was issued on Wednesday evening.
Details of the Blue Alert can be found here.
