Fugitive Wanted for Lubbock Murder Added to Texas Top 10 Most Wanted

 

AUSTIN, TX — The Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) has added Kendrick Kevon Taylor, a documented Crips gang member, to its Texas 10 Most Wanted Fugitives List following a fatal shooting in Lubbock last month. A cash reward of up to $7,500 is being offered for information leading to his arrest, according to Texas Crime Stoppers.

Taylor, 23, is wanted in Lubbock County for murder stemming from a shooting that occurred in August. At the time, Taylor was out on parole from a previous aggravated robbery conviction. On Aug. 26, the Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles issued a separate warrant for violating his parole.

Known to go by the alias “Skrilla,” Taylor is described as 5 feet 8 inches tall and approximately 155 pounds. He has tattoos on his face, neck, and chest, and scars on his abdomen and right leg.

For more details or updates regarding Taylor’s status, the public can visit the DPS website.

Texas Crime Stoppers, funded by the Governor’s Public Safety Office, offers rewards to tipsters who provide anonymous information that results in the arrest of individuals on the 10 Most Wanted Fugitives, Sex Offenders, or Criminal Illegal Immigrants Lists. So far in 2025, law enforcement agencies across Texas have captured 49 such individuals, resulting in $37,000 in rewards distributed.

How to Submit a Tip

To qualify for the cash reward, tips must be submitted through one of the following methods:

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

  • Submit online via the DPS website by selecting the fugitive’s profile and clicking the tip link.

  • Submit via Facebook by clicking the “Submit a Tip” link under the “About” section.

All tips remain anonymous, and contributors are issued a tip number rather than being asked for a name.

DPS works in partnership with local law enforcement agencies to determine who is placed on the Most Wanted lists. Current lists, along with photos and detailed information, are available at www.dps.texas.gov
