Gonzalo Lopez
TDCJ

Authorities warn people living in Texas’ east and central part to be on the lookout for a violent escaped prisoner on the run. A major search is underway for Gonzalo Lopez, who officials say escaped from restraints aboard a prison bus in Leon County, stabbed the driver, took off with the bus, and then continued on foot. Gonzalo was in prison on a life sentence for using a pick-ax to murder a man in Hidalgo County and was also convicted of attempted capital murder in Webb County.
