The FBI is offering a reward of up to $25,000 for information leading to the arrest and conviction of 32-year-old Benjamin Hanil Song, who is wanted in connection with a shooting at a federal detention facility in Texas.
Song is accused of attempting to murder a federal officer and discharging a firearm during a violent crime in an attack on July 4 at the Prairieland Detention Center in Alvarado, a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility. During the incident, an Alvarado police officer was shot and wounded.
A federal arrest warrant was issued for Song on July 9 in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas, Fort Worth Division.
Song is described as an Asian male, 5’6 tall, with black hair and brown eyes. He was born on March 22, 1993.
Authorities warn that Song should be considered armed and dangerous. The FBI’s Dallas Field Office has asked law enforcement agencies in neighboring states to assist in locating him.
Anyone with information is urged to contact the FBI at 1-800-CALL-FBI or submit a tip online at tips.fbi.gov. Tips can also be provided to any local FBI office or the nearest U.S. Embassy or Consulate.
