A reward of up to $8,500 is now being offered for information that leads to his arrest if the tip is received during the month of November.
Gomez is wanted for murder in Harris County and has been on the run since 2022. According to DPS, he is also wanted for a parole violation and has a lengthy criminal history, including a 2009 conviction for sexual assault of a child.
He was sentenced to 15 years in prison for that offense and had prior convictions for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, burglary of a vehicle, and burglary of a building.
