Federal authorities are asking for the public’s help to track down Jerson López Sánchez, a 28-year-old Honduran national wanted on federal charges after an alleged Dec. 1, 2025, vehicle collision with Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers in Lewisville that injured federal agents. Prosecutors say López Sánchez reversed his pickup into a marked ICE vehicle during a traffic stop, then drove off and escaped on foot after a short pursuit. A federal arrest warrant was issued Jan. 14, and the FBI is now offering up to $15,000 for information leading to his arrest.
In a release from the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Texas, officials say agents tried to stop a white Chevrolet pickup in the 2400 block of S. Stemmons Freeway in Lewisville. Prosecutors allege López Sánchez threw the truck in reverse, hit a law enforcement vehicle and then rammed a van carrying two ICE officers before taking off. The FBI’s wanted poster notes the pickup was registered to a person who had previously been removed from the United States and includes López Sánchez’s photo, date of birth, physical description, and lists his occupation as roofer and languages as English and Spanish, along with the reward offer. Law enforcement says three other occupants were detained after the truck finally stopped, while López Sánchez slipped away and remains at large.
Indictment and investigators’ account
Prosecutors have indicted López Sánchez on three counts of assaulting, resisting or impeding certain officers, and reporting and court papers say the pursuit lasted about 10 minutes before the truck came to a stop on a median and the five occupants ran off on foot. U.S. Attorney Jay R. Combs has called the incident a violent attack and emphasized that the agents were clearly identified at the time, according to The Dallas Morning News. The crash deployed airbags and left at least one agent with back and neck injuries, according to court filings and reporting by NBC DFW.
Charges and potential penalties
The indictment, unsealed Jan. 14, charges López Sánchez with three federal counts that each carry a maximum possible sentence of up to 20 years if he is convicted, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Texas says. Prosecutors say the case is being handled in the Sherman division and is part of a Homeland Security Task Force effort focused on prosecuting violent offenses tied to transnational criminal activity.
How to submit tips
The FBI Dallas Field Office is asking anyone with information to call 1-800-CALL-FBI or submit tips online at tips.fbi.gov. Officials say tipsters may remain anonymous and could be eligible for a reward of up to $15,000. The FBI has also circulated a wanted poster and a Spanish-language notice, including a post on its Dallas Facebook page with photos and contact instructions, to expand outreach to Spanish-speaking communities…
