The search continues for a Texas inmate serving a life sentence for murder who escaped a transport bus after stabbing the driver. Texas corrections officials say a $22,500 reward is being offered for information leading to the capture of Gonzalo Lopez.
Multiple law enforcement agencies were searching an area off an interstate in Leon County for Gonzalo Lopez, 46, who was convicted in 2006 of killing another man along the Texas-Mexico border.
There were 16 prisoners aboard the bus but no one else escaped, said Jason Clark, chief of staff for the Texas Department of Criminal Justice. He said Lopez overpowered the driver, a correctional officer, but that it was unclear whether Lopez gained control of the bus or whether it just went off the road.Leon County has roughly 16,000 residents and is about 50 miles north of the state’s prison headquarters.
Prison records show Lopez was most recently being held at a lockup in Gatesville, more than 100 miles from where authorities were searching.
