Newly released photos show the tattoos of escaped Texas inmate Gonzalo Lopez, who has been on the lam for nearly three weeks after stabbing a prison bus driver and making his getaway into the desert.
The reward for information leading to the capture of 46-year-old Lopez, an affiliate of the Mexican Mafia who was serving back-to-back life sentences for murder and attempted murder, is currently sitting at $50,000. The U.S. Marshals Service released several photos last week showing Lopez’s various tattoos, including one reading "Aztlan" across his lower back and another with "Gonzo" on his stomach.
The "heavily tattooed" fugitive, described as a White or Hispanic male standing approximately six-foot tall and weighing 185 pounds, also has distinct artwork inked on both arms and his chest.
Lopez escaped custody on May 12 after getting out of his restraints while being transported in a bus for high-risk inmates in a rural area near Centerville, Texas. He is accused of cutting through a metal cage and stabbing a correction officer behind the wheel, temporarily stealing the bus before a second guard shot out the tires and the vehicle crashed. Lopez was last seen running into the woods off Highway 7.
In 1996, Lopez was convicted of two counts of aggravated assault and received two eight-year sentences. In 2006, he was convicted of capital murder and aggravated kidnapping and was sentenced to life in prison. Lopez received a second life sentence after he was convicted for attempted capital murder in 2007.

huh?
He cut through a metal cage and no one noticed?
So he's related to George Zimmerman???
Sounds as if Texas law enforcement are not very good at the “enforcement” part of their jobs.
Maybe all those cops that don’t do anything can play hide and seek with this guy? 🤪
When someone offers you a suitcase of money while holding a gun to your wife’s head you are very tempted to agree to smuggle that phone and knife in to Gonzalo.
The state really needs to put down rabid animals like this rather than take a chance on them committing more crimes. And they do and will.
So many questions. How did he get out of his restraints? How did he “cut through a metal cage”? Was the driver the only guard on the bus? Where was the other guard that shot out the tires? Why are there “woods” on the side of the road if he escaped “into the desert”?
depends...if you are black? yes. If you are Hispanic? no
If you are white? no
“The “heavily tattooed” fugitive, described as a White or Hispanic male”
The freakin’ guy has the word “MEXICAN” tattooed on his back in 4” letters......that oughta be a clue........political correctness make me wanna puke.
Why are there “woods” on the side of the road if he escaped “into the desert”?
Question of the month!
At first when I seen the article, I wasn’t concerned cause the desert is 100s of miles from me. But when reading the article and said ‘Centerville’, I got concerned since it is under 40 miles away. And..it is heavily wooded.
The reward is to low. Government can pay much more. Not worth the risk.
raise to 1 million and people will be more in tune to look for your guy
No facial pic, except the grainy little ID card in the upper left corner of one of the tattoo pics. Thanks, Fox. I guess if we go to the beach we might have a slim chance of actually spotting and reporting the guy.
Be a shame if the wild boars got him.
Someone needs a globe and a map.
Centerville, Texas is on IH45 North of Houston.
It is considered to be in the piney woods region of Texas.
