The Hays County Sheriff's Office kicked off an early-morning online manhunt Saturday, sharing FBI photos that it says show a man named Jesse Lang who is wanted by police in Denver and Edinburg. In a social media post that praised a "fantastic collaboration across multiple agencies," the sheriff's office asked the public to help track him down and urged anyone with information to contact law enforcement.
Hays County Shares FBI Photos Naming Suspect
According to the Hays County Sheriff's Office, the FBI distributed multiple photos of the same man, and the post identifies him as Jesse Lang, wanted by both Denver and Edinburg police. The sheriff's office included an attached transcript and again credited what it called a "fantastic collaboration across multiple agencies" for getting the images in front of the public.
FBI San Antonio's Role And How To Tip Authorities
FBI San Antonio oversees fugitive and public-safety outreach across south-central Texas and keeps a field-office contact page with its phone number and reporting options. Per the FBI San Antonio, the office can be reached at (210) 225-6741, and the FBI also accepts online tips.
What We Couldn’t Independently Verify
We searched the Denver Police Department's official news page and the City of Edinburg's police information pages but did not find matching press releases or public warrant postings for the name used in the Hays County post as of publication. That gap in searchable archives does not necessarily mean a warrant does not exist, since some notices go only to law-enforcement databases or are posted on agency social accounts that never show up in formal press-release listings.
How To Report Tips Safely
If you believe you recognize the person in the photos, you can submit a tip at FBI or contact the FBI San Antonio field office by phone. Hays County also lists non-emergency contact information on its official site. Do not approach anyone who looks like the person in the photos. Instead, call law enforcement and share any information you have.
The lead details in this story come from the Hays County post and the FBI images, and we will update if Denver or Edinburg release formal confirming notices.
