Clarence Enyi Mfor, a 37-year-old fugitive from Cameroon, was captured in San Antonio by Texas DPS on March 2. He was wanted for sexual assault and had a history of arrests by ICE for immigration violations. The Texas Crime Stoppers program has paid $20,000 in rewards for tips leading to recent arrests, highlighting the importance of public cooperation in law enforcement efforts.
The Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) has announced the capture of Clarence Enyi Mfor, a fugitive from Texas’ 10 Most Wanted Criminal Illegal Immigrants List, in San Antonio. The arrest occurred on Sunday, March 2, and it is noted that a Crime Stoppers reward will not be granted for his capture. Mfor, a 37-year-old illegal immigrant from Cameroon, was sought by Bexar County authorities since January 2025 for sexual assault.
Mfor’s legal troubles began in 2019 when U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) apprehended him in California due to alien inadmissibility. He faced further arrest in May 2023 in San Antonio for not possessing an immigration visa but was subsequently released from detention. Further details regarding Mfor’s apprehension can be found on official DPS sources.
The Governor’s Public Safety Office funds Texas Crime Stoppers, which provides cash rewards for information leading to the arrest of Texas 10 Most Wanted Fugitives, Sex Offenders, or Criminal Illegal Immigrants. As of 2025, DPS and cooperating agencies have arrested 13 individuals listed, including three sex offenders and four illegal immigrants, rewarding $20,000 for tips that resulted in these arrests.
To qualify for cash rewards, tipsters must convey information through designated channels: 1) Calling the Crime Stoppers hotline at 1-800-252-TIPS (8477), 2) Submitting a web tip via the DPS website by selecting the fugitive, or 3) Utilizing the Facebook tip submission link under the “About” section. All tips remain anonymous, and participants receive a tip number rather than a name.
DPS collaborates with local law enforcement to compile the Texas 10 Most Wanted Fugitives, Sex Offenders, and Criminal Illegal Immigrants Lists. The current lists, complete with photographs, are accessible on the DPS website. Residents are cautioned against trying to apprehend these fugitives, as they may be considered armed and dangerous.
The arrest of Clarence Mfor marks a significant development in the ongoing efforts by the Texas Department of Public Safety to apprehend fugitives from the 10 Most Wanted Criminal Illegal Immigrants List. The case underscores the collaboration among law enforcement agencies and the community’s role in reporting criminal activities. Public participation remains crucial, with anonymous tip systems in place to ensure safety and encourage information sharing.
