Dallas police have kicked off a citywide fugitive sweep dubbed Operation Uptown Downtown, teaming up with the U.S. Marshals to hunt down 10 of the area’s most-wanted suspects. Crime Stoppers is putting up a $1,500 reward for anonymous tips that lead to an arrest, and officials are making one thing very clear: call it in, do not play hero.

Who’s on the list

In a post on X, the Dallas Police Department laid out the operation’s top‑10 roster, listing names, alleged charges and current status. Among those named are Antonio Alexander, accused in a fatal shooting; Brian Plemons, wanted in connection with an aggravated robbery case, and April Quigley, also listed on an aggravated robbery allegation. Others on the rundown face accusations that include aggravated assault and robbery.

The department’s update shows several suspects marked as cleared, with Alexander, Plemons and Kendrick Pratt noted as arrested. At least one person, Maquesta Martin, is listed as still at large with bond issues cited in the department’s summary. Police say they will keep updating the list as arrests come in.

Marshals join local sweeps

The U.S. Marshals’ North Texas Fugitive Task Force is again riding shotgun with Dallas officers, adding federal tracking tools and personnel to the local operation. A recent U.S. Marshals Service release highlighted an earlier joint sweep that led to more than 60 arrests.

On the local side, a Dallas Police Department report on "Operation We Got You" documented more than 160 arrests in April. Together, these kinds of multi‑agency crackdowns have been credited with clearing dozens of warrants and disrupting networks tied to violent robbery and assault.

How to tip and what the reward covers

Anyone with information on suspects linked to Operation Uptown Downtown is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 214‑373‑TIPS (8477) or submit an anonymous tip through P3tips.com. Local reporting lists the same Crime Stoppers tipline for anonymous tips and explains that the $1,500 reward is for information that leads to an arrest. Tipsters can stay anonymous and are urged not to share potential lead information publicly on social media or elsewhere.

Legal note

Being named on a most‑wanted list or tied to alleged charges means exactly that: allegations. The people cited by the department are presumed innocent unless and until prosecutors file charges and prove guilt in court. Earlier reporting on related Dallas investigations has echoed the department’s caution about public posts and stressed that only trained officers should attempt arrests.

Dallas police say public tips are crucial to making operations like this work, but they are equally blunt about safety. If you recognize someone from the list and there is immediate danger, call 911. Otherwise, send what you know anonymously to Crime Stoppers at 214‑373‑TIPS or through P3tips.com and let the professionals handle the takedown.
