The reward for Marcos Christopher Alonzo, a Texas 10 Most Wanted Sex Offender and March's featured fugitive, has been increased to $4,000 for information leading to his arrest if the tip is received before the end of May.
Alonzo, 46, is wanted for failure to register as a sex offender. He has been wanted since Feb. 2023, when he fled from his last known address in Hutchins, according to the Texas Department of Public Safety.
Alonzo was convicted of assault causing bodily injury-family enhancement and obstruction/retaliation in 2002 and served five years in prison altogether for both offenses.
In 2005, Alonzo was convicted and given another five-year prison sentence for indecency with a child by contact following an incident involving a 5-year-old girl.
