The U.S. Marshals Service is on the hunt for 33-year-old Orlando Perez after authorities say he took off following a domestic dispute on San Antonio’s Northwest Side. Perez was convicted in 2024 of possession of a firearm and sentenced to 51 months in prison. Investigators say he has now violated the terms of his supervised release and are asking the public to help track him down.
Wanted details
Officials report that Perez violated his three-year supervised-release conditions by drinking alcohol during court-ordered treatment and now faces additional allegations tied to a domestic incident that involved shoving a minor into a wall and interfering with a 911 call. He was also recently arrested on suspicion of DWI after failing field sobriety tests and refusing both a breath and blood test. Authorities describe him as 5 feet 7 inches tall, 260 pounds, with multiple tattoos on his forearms, hands, triceps and torso. Anyone with information is urged to call the U.S. Marshals at 210-657-8500, according to KABB.
How to report
Authorities stress that members of the public should not approach Perez if they see him. Instead, call 911 immediately for emergencies and let trained officers handle the situation. The U.S. Marshals Service also accepts tips through its online system and encourages people to use official channels so investigators can follow up directly.

Marshals active in San Antonio
San Antonio has recently seen a run of Marshals-led fugitive operations that leaned heavily on public tips and interagency task forces. In April, an anonymous tip helped the U.S. Marshals Lone Star Fugitive Task Force and state partners locate and arrest a wanted man on the city's south side, underscoring how crucial those calls can be. As anonymous tip outs most-wanted fugitive reported, residents who spot someone matching a wanted bulletin are urged to pass information to authorities rather than step in themselves.
Legal consequences
Federal supervised-release violations can trigger a revocation hearing and a return to prison, and the court may impose additional time depending on the severity of the original offense and the nature of the violation. The U.S. Sentencing Commission notes that revocation can lead to imprisonment and possibly a renewed term of supervised release under federal law. Perez also faces any separate state or local charges that may result from the domestic incident and the reported DWI arrest.
