NEW BRAUNFELS, Texas – A dangerous fugitive wanted on attempted murder and other violent charges is now in custody after a multi-county manhunt in Central Texas, according to the FBI San Antonio Field Office.
The FBI said the Central Texas Violent Crimes Task Force, working with law enforcement partners, tracked down and arrested 34-year-old Jesse Lang, a suspect wanted by the Denver Police Department for attempted murder and other violent charges.
The Edinburg Police Department also wanted the suspect for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.
The FBI said when the suspect fled, agencies across multiple counties mobilized. The manhunt ended with a coordinated felony vehicle stop on Interstate 35 near New Braunfels, Texas.
The arrest was part of “Operation No Escape,” which the FBI described as an aggressive multi-agency effort to locate violent fugitives and bring them to justice.
