The Federal Bureau of Investigation has added three dangerous fugitives to its Ten Most Wanted list following a stunning string of successes under the Trump administration that saw seven of the nation’s most wanted criminals captured in just one year.
From Breitbart:
FBI Director Kash Patel announced the additions of Trung Duc Lu, Anibal Aguirre, and Samuel Ramirez Jr. to the infamous roster. All three men are wanted for serious violent crimes including kidnapping, murder, and cyber fraud. The additions come as the bureau celebrates an unprecedented capture rate that has seen seven fugitives taken off the streets since President Trump returned to office.
The Three New Fugitives
Trung Duc Lu is a Vietnamese national believed to be approximately 46 years old who is wanted for his alleged role in the 2014 kidnapping, torture, and murder of two Vietnamese brothers in Philadelphia. According to the FBI, Lu was involved in the August 2014 abduction of 31-year-old Vu Huynh and 28-year-old Viet Huynh. The victims were tortured, stabbed multiple times, bound with zip ties, and dumped in the Schuylkill River with their heads wrapped in duct tape and bodies weighted down to sink. Lu is believed to be a ranking member of the New York-based “Born to Kill” street gang, also known as BTK or Canal Boys. He has distinctive tattoos including a dragon and the words “Asian Pride” on his back. The last confirmed sighting of Lu was in Vietnam.
From CBS Philadelphia:
Police say the victims were stabbed multiple times, bound and dumped in the Schuylkill River. Trung Duc Lu is believed to be a ranking member of the New York-based “Born to Kill” street gang, also known as BTK or Canal Boys. With his addition to the 10 Most Wanted, the reward for information leading to his capture increases to $1 million.
Anibal Alexander Canelon Aguirre, also known by the aliases “Prometheus” and “The Engineer,” is a 49-year-old Venezuelan national who has been added to the list for his alleged role leading an international ATM jackpotting scheme for the terrorist organization Tren de Aragua since at least 2024. Aguirre is considered the first-ever cyber fugitive added to the FBI’s Ten Most Wanted list. Investigators believe he developed custom-built malware that forced ATMs across the United States to dispense cash on command, stealing tens of millions of dollars from more than 40 Nebraska financial institutions alone. The scheme allegedly funded the violent transnational gang’s criminal activities.
From NewsNation:
Canelon Aguirre is the alleged mastermind behind the malware that Tren de Aragua deployed against federally insured banks across the United States of America to raise millions of dollars for the terrorist organization. Without the malware, these crimes would not have been possible.
Samuel Ramirez Jr., a 33-year-old suspect, was actually captured just days after being added to the list in a remarkable display of law enforcement efficiency. He was wanted for his alleged involvement in the May 21, 2023 shooting deaths of two women—Katie Duhnke, 37, and Jessyca Hohn—outside the Stars Bar and Grill in Federal Way, Washington. A third person was also injured in the shooting. Ramirez Jr. was arrested without incident on March 10, 2026, in Culiacán, Mexico, just 1 hour and 13 minutes after being added to the FBI’s Ten Most Wanted list. He had been on the run for nearly three years.
From KIRO 7:
Ramirez Jr. was arrested without incident on March 10 in Culiacán, Mexico, just 1 hour and 13 minutes after being added to the FBI’s Ten Most Wanted list. The double murder suspect was taken into custody following a coordinated effort between the FBI’s Seattle office, Federal Way Police, and Mexican authorities.
The FBI’s Ten Most Wanted Fugitives list, which debuted on March 14, 1950, has become one of the most effective law enforcement tools in American history. The program leverages public assistance and substantial reward offers to track down the nation’s most dangerous criminals. The bureau has increased reward offers to $1 million for these high-priority fugitives.
The seven captures in one year represent a significant acceleration in enforcement results. The FBI maintains approximately 12,000 active fugitive investigations at any given time, making the high-profile captures a testament to improved coordination and resources.
The Trump administration has made law enforcement support a cornerstone of its domestic policy agenda, with FBI leadership emphasizing aggressive prosecution of violent crime and enhanced interagency cooperation. The capture statistics suggest these policies are yielding measurable results in removing dangerous individuals from American communities.
The three new additions to the Most Wanted list join a roster that has historically included some of the nation’s most notorious criminals. Since its inception 76 years ago, the program has led to the capture of over 160 fugitives through citizen tips and coordinated law enforcement efforts.
