Texas authorities have named Jrdon Joe as January's Featured Fugitive in the Texas 10 Most Wanted list. The reward for information leading to his arrest has been increased to $4,000 for tips received within this month.

Jrdon Mykel Joe, aged 23 from Humble, is wanted for a murder that occurred in Harris County in August 2024. The incident reportedly took place on July 12, 2024, when he allegedly shot a man in a parking lot near IH-45. Joe has a criminal history with prior arrests related to drug and violent offenses.

Joe is described as being 5 feet 9 inches tall and weighing approximately 160 pounds.

The Governor’s Public Safety Office funds Texas Crime Stoppers, which offers cash rewards for information leading to the arrest of individuals on the Texas 10 Most Wanted lists, including fugitives, sex offenders, and criminal illegal immigrants. In the year 2024 alone, law enforcement agencies including DPS arrested a total of 46 individuals from these lists. This included the apprehension of 17 sex offenders, ten gang members, and four criminal illegal immigrants. A total of $32,000 was awarded for tips that led to arrests.

To be eligible for these cash rewards, tipsters must provide information using designated methods. All tips remain anonymous with tipsters receiving a tip number instead of using their names.
