DPS Announces Featured Fugitive for June

AUSTIN, TX – Texas 10 Most Wanted Sex Offender Ramiro Dominguez has been named this month’s "Featured Fugitive," with an increased reward of $3,000 for information leading to his arrest if the tip is received in June, the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) announced.

Ramiro Manuel Dominguez, 34, of Abernathy, has been wanted since December 2023, when a warrant was issued out of Hale County for his arrest for failure to comply with sex offender registration requirements. In 2012, Dominguez was convicted of first-degree rape in Oklahoma following an incident with a 10-year-old girl.

He was subsequently sentenced to 8 years of confinement. Also in 2012, he was convicted of domestic assault and battery/abuse in Oklahoma and sentenced to 3 years of confinement to be served concurrently with his 8-year sentence for rape. 

Dominguez is 5 feet 5 inches tall and weighs about 230 pounds. He has tattoos on his face, neck, chest, back and both arms. More information about Dominguez or updates in the event of his arrest can be found here.

Funded by the Governor’s Public Safety Office, Texas Crime Stoppers offers cash rewards to any person who provides information that leads to the arrest of one of Texas’ 10 Most Wanted Fugitives, Sex Offenders, or Criminal Illegal Immigrants. In 2024, DPS and other agencies have arrested 18 Texas 10 Most Wanted Fugitives and Sex Offenders, including eight sex offenders and seven gang members.

To be eligible for cash rewards, tipsters MUST provide information to authorities using one of the following three methods: 

• Call the Crime Stoppers hotline at 1-800-252-TIPS (8477).
