Armed, violent, and dangerous is how FBI agents are describing Genero Espinosa Dorantes wanted for the brutal murder of his 4-year old step son back in February.

This mans freedom has residents concerned and watching their backs in hopes of not crossing the path of this suspect. "He dumped the body of the boy once the boy was dead in a public park, fled with two other young children an 8 year old and a fifteen month and the mother," Special FBI Agent Art says it's a horrific crime of torture and abuse. Abuse so brutal, it lead to the death of a 4-year old boy. Genero Espinosa Dorantes is wanted for allegedly burning and beating his stepson. The boy later died due to infection. "He is an illegal alien so he realizes that he has to keep a very low profile, he is considered armed and dangerous." So dangerous, FBI agents are warning residents that Dorantes may likely be in Texas or crossing to New Mexico. He may also be involved in the transportation of illegal aliens. Residents here are concerned a man like this could be hiding out in the same neighborhood as them and their families.

Fliers are being posted along the city with more information on the suspect. Now, the FBI is offering a 50-thousand dollar reward for information leading directly to the arrest of Dorantes. Dorantes may be traveling with his spouse, the mother of the deceased child, Martha Cano Patlan, who has also been charged with criminal homicide. They're traveling with her two children 8-year old Mariana Cisneros, and their 15-month old son Edgardo Espinosa. If anyone has any information contact local authorities quickly without approaching the suspect.
