(HOUSTON, TX) – FBI Houston and local, state, and federal law enforcement agencies have partnered to launch the “Houston Most Wanted” fugitives list to bring some of our area’s most violent criminals to justice. The regional fugitives list is part of the FBI’s “Summer Heat” campaign targeting violent crime in communities across the country. The FBI is allocating $50,000 for reward money to each field office to incentivize the public to submit tips about the whereabouts of these individuals.
Each violent fugitive featured on the list is considered a threat to public safety and faces felony charges, including murder, aggravated assault, and bank robbery. The newly formed Houston Homeland Security Task Force is using every resource to locate and apprehend them, including reward money and soliciting the public’s help.
As part of the FBI’s “Summer Heat” initiative, FBI Houston has partnered with the Houston Police Department, the Harris County Sheriff’s Office, the U.S. Marshals Service, the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office, the Texas Department of Public Safety, Homeland Security Investigations, the Harris County District Attorney’s Office, and the United States Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Texas to select the most dangerous individuals wanted for violent offenses by their respective agencies.
This summer’s featured fugitives and respective rewards are:
1) Christian Xavier Rucker – Murder in Aid of Racketeering – $50,000 (increased reward and
previously featured by FBI Houston)
2) Elvio Emilio Mancebo – Murder and Unlawful Flight to Avoid Prosecution – $10,000 reward

10) Gerrode Terrel Smith – Bank Robbery – $5,000 reward
“The full force of local, state, and federal law enforcement is focused on capturing these fugitives,” said FBI Houston Special Agent in Charge Douglas Williams. “Together, we are unleashing every available resource to track them down and bring them to justice. There will be no safe haven or refuge they can hide from the reach of our Homeland Security Task Force.”
