The U.S. Marshals are on the hunt for 43-year-old Ulises Lares-Castro and are reaching out to the public for assistance. Lares-Castro has reportedly breached the terms of his supervised release, which followed a six-month prison term in 2022 for illegal re-entry into the United States, according to officials.

Having been released from custody, the conditions of his three-year supervised release stint required Lares-Castro to regularly check in with his probation officer, which he has failed to do. Originally captured on San Antonio's West Side, he is described as 5 feet, 9 inches tall and weighing around 150 pounds, Fox San Antonio reported.

The U.S. Marshals have not provided specific details on when Lares-Castro last made contact with his probation officer or how they have determined the transgression of his release terms. Nevertheless, their call to the public signifies a degree of urgency in recapturing a man considered a fugitive from justice.

Authorities are urging anyone with information regarding the whereabouts of Lares-Castro to step forward. His last known residence was in a family-oriented neighborhood, often bustling with children on San Antonio's West Side. They are reminding the public, however, not to approach him directly, as remaining alert but careful is crucial in these situations, and to instead contact law enforcement immediately.
