The Marble Falls Police Department arrested on Sunday, June 21, the Texas Department of Public Safety’s featured fugitive of June 2026. The arrest was made thanks to a tip submitted to local law enforcement. 

MFPD cuffed 19-year-old Victor Manuel Ramos Jr. on Sunday, charging him with possession of a controlled substance. Ramos Jr. was wanted for failing to comply with annual sex offender registration requirements in connection to a child sexual assault conviction in Llano County. 

According to DPS reports, Ramos was captured using information submitted through Texas Crime Stoppers. 

“Working off tip information, Marble Falls Police Department officers located and arrested Ramos at a business,” reads the report. 

The $4,000 reward offered by Texas Crime Stoppers for information leading to Ramos’ capture was awarded to the anonymous informant. 

Ramos had been wanted since August 2025 leading up to his arrest. He was known to have connections to Horseshoe Bay, Cottonwood Shores, and Marble Falls. He was noted as “transient” when booked into the Burnet County Jail on Sunday. 

According to a media release issued by DPS, Ramos was convicted in April 2025 of sexual assault of a child and indecency with a child by sexual contact in connection to a 2023 incident involving a 16-year-old girl, when he was 17 years old.

He reportedly failed to comply with sex offender registration requirements in Llano County and was also wanted out of Burnet County for violations of his probation.
