Gonzalo Lopez, 46, who is serving a life sentence for murder, was traveling on a bus with 15 other inmates from Huntsville to Gatesville, roughly a 160-mile drive, when the attack unfolded, the U.S. Marshals Service saidAccording to officials, Lopez “managed to free himself from his restraints and use an object to stab the bus driver.
“I cannot reiterate enough how dangerous this man is and how the public’s help is needed in locating him,” Texas Department of Criminal Justice spokesperson Robert Hurst"We do not know if he has obtained any kind of a weapon," Hurst added. "Last we saw him, he did not appear to have a weapon in his possession, but who knows what he might've been able to get."
Authorities said Lopez is affiliated with the Mexican mafia and has ties to the Rio Grande Valley and San Antonio areas.
