联邦调查局将 Joseph Matos 列入十大通缉名单:涉枪杀国民警卫队成员 悬赏100万美元

美国联邦调查局(Federal Bureau of Investigation, FBI)芝加哥分局10月20日宣布,将44岁的 Joseph “Troubles” Matos 列入 FBI 十大通缉逃犯名单,缉拿悬赏提高至100万美元。Matos 被指与2021年伊利诺伊州国民警卫队成员 Chrys Carvajal 在 Chicago 的 Belmont Cragin 社区遭枪杀一案有关。FBI 表示,Matos 与 Dallas, Texas 以及加州都有联系。
FBI 芝加哥分局负责人 Ryan Whalen 说:“Matos 被列入这份臭名昭著的十大通缉逃犯名单后,他的照片和体貌特征将出现在 FBI 的每一个关联网站和社交媒体平台上,这起案件将出现在全世界的每一部手机上,直到他被抓获。”他表示,这一宣布离不开 Chicago 警方、联邦检察官 Andrew Butros 团队以及 Carvajal 家人的支持。
据 FBI 介绍,2021年7月3日,正值独立日周末,Carvajal 刚完成国民警卫队基础训练,在参加庆祝活动后走向自己的汽车时,据指被 Matos 与另一名帮派成员开枪击中身亡。FBI 称,Matos 是 Milwaukee Kings 街头帮派的成员,该帮派在 Chicago 北区一带从事毒品交易,并以谋杀、袭击等暴力行为争夺和保住地盘。
经 Chicago 警方与 FBI 联合调查,Matos 于2024年5月14日在位于 Chicago 的美国伊利诺伊北区联邦地区法院被控以敲诈活动名义谋杀及使用枪支谋杀,法院随后对其发出逮捕令。数日后,FBI 芝加哥特警队与地方执法部门展开搜捕,抓获了 Matos 的同伙 Gary Roberson,Matos 未被找到,自此潜逃至今。上述内容目前仍为检方指控,Matos 尚未被定罪。
FBI 公布的体貌特征显示,Matos 身高6英尺2英寸(约1.88米),体重约220磅(约100公斤),棕色头发、棕色眼睛;其颈部右侧有“M-Town Kings”字样文身、左侧有“1300”字样,腹部有“MOST WANTED”字样,双臂有“Heavensent, Hellbound”字样。FBI 称 Matos 持有武器、危险性高,相信他仍在美国境内,可能藏匿在大 Chicago 地区;任何包庇他的人都将构成严重的联邦罪行并被追究责任。
Matos 是十大通缉逃犯名单设立以来第544名上榜者。FBI 称,名单设立至今已有504名上榜者被抓获或确认下落,比例超过92%。掌握线索者可拨打 FBI 免费举报电话1-800-CALLFBI(1-800-225-5324),也可通过 tips.fbi.gov 在线举报,所有线索均可匿名提交。

FBI Adds Joseph Matos to Ten Most Wanted Fugitives List Over National Guardsman Killing: $1 Million Reward
The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) announced in Chicago on October 20 that Joseph “Troubles” Matos, 44, has been added to the FBI's Ten Most Wanted Fugitives list, with the reward for his capture increased to $1 million. Matos is wanted in connection with the 2021 shooting death of Illinois National Guard member Chrys Carvajal in Chicago's Belmont Cragin neighborhood. The FBI said Matos has ties to Dallas, Texas, and to California.
“Today's addition of Matos to the FBI's notorious Ten Most Wanted Fugitives list ensures that his face and description will be found on every FBI-affiliated website and social media platform, and this case will now be on every phone around the world until he is apprehended,” said Ryan Whalen, Special Agent in Charge of the FBI's Chicago field office. He credited the Chicago Police Department, the prosecuting team under U.S. Attorney Andrew Butros, and Carvajal's family.
According to the FBI, on July 3, 2021, during an Independence Day weekend celebration of Carvajal's graduation from National Guard basic training, Matos and a fellow gang member allegedly shot and killed Carvajal as he walked to his car. The FBI said Matos is believed to be a member of the Milwaukee Kings street gang, whose members and associates have engaged in narcotics trafficking and acts of violence, including murder and assault, to acquire and preserve the gang's perceived territory on Chicago's North Side.
A joint investigation by the Chicago Police Department and the FBI led to an arrest warrant issued for Matos in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois in Chicago, after he was charged on May 14, 2024, with murder in aid of racketeering and murder through the use of a firearm. Several days later, FBI Chicago SWAT operators and local law enforcement conducted operations to locate Matos and his associate, Gary Roberson. Roberson was taken into custody; Matos was not located and has remained a fugitive. The charges against Matos remain allegations, and he has not been convicted.
The FBI describes Matos as 6 feet 2 inches tall, weighing approximately 220 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes. His tattoos include “M-Town Kings” on the right side of his neck, “1300” on the left side, “MOST WANTED” on his belly, and “Heavensent, Hellbound” on his arms. The FBI said Matos should be considered armed and dangerous, is presumed to still be in the United States, and is believed to be hiding in the greater Chicago area. Anyone aiding him, the bureau said, is committing a serious federal offense.
Matos is the 544th fugitive added to the list. The FBI said 504 fugitives on the list have been apprehended or located since its inception, a rate of over 92 percent. Anyone with information can contact the FBI's toll-free tipline at 1-800-CALLFBI (1-800-225-5324) or submit a tip online at tips.fbi.gov; all information can be submitted anonymously.
