BLUE Alert Issued for Suspect in Shooting of Alvarado Police Officer at Texas ICE Detention Center

TEXAS, USA — A manhunt is underway for Benjamin Hanil Song, who is accused of shooting an Alvarado police officer during an attack on the Prairieland Detention Center, an ICE-operated facility in Texas, on July 4.

The FBI has identified Song as the primary suspect in the incident and issued a federal arrest warrant on July 9. He faces charges of attempted murder of a federal officer and discharging a firearm during and in furtherance of a crime of violence.

Authorities say the officer was wounded during the attack, but details about their condition have not been released. The ongoing investigation has led to the activation of a BLUE Alert, signaling a serious threat to law enforcement and public safety.

Song is considered armed and dangerous. The FBI is offering a $25,000 reward for information that leads to his arrest and conviction.

Anyone with information is urged to contact the FBI or local law enforcement immediately.

What Is a BLUE Alert?

A BLUE Alert is issued when a law enforcement officer is seriously injured or killed, and the suspect poses a continuing threat. The alert system aims to quickly disseminate identifying information to the public in order to aid in the suspect’s capture.

Criteria for a BLUE Alert in Texas:

  • A law enforcement officer has been killed or seriously injured.

  • The suspect poses a serious risk to the public or law enforcement.

  • Sufficient identifying information (vehicle description, license plate, etc.) is available.

  • The investigating agency has requested the alert be issued through the Texas Department of Public Safety.

Joao Pedro Makes Dream Start as Chelsea Eye Club World Cup Glory

Joao Pedro Makes Dream Start as Chelsea Eye Club World Cup Glory Chelsea may already boast a wealth of attacking talent, but Joao Pedro has wasted no time making his presence felt – potentially pulling ahead of his fellow forwards just in time for Sunday’s Club World Cup final. The Brazilian striker, who signed from Brighton last week, is now one of 19 forwards brought in under Chelsea’s American ownership, which has spent a staggering £600 million on attacking reinforcements since taking over in 2022. After a brief debut in Saturday’s quarter-final win over Palmeiras, Pedro earned his first start in the semi-final against Fluminense – his boyhood club – and delivered a memorable performance with two sensational goals on either side of half-time. His first came just 18 minutes in, when he latched onto a half-cleared cross at the edge of the box, took a single touch, and rifled a fierce drive past 44-year-old keeper Fabio into the far corner. It was a statement opener. The second was ju...

Real Madrid 1-0 Juventus: Gonzalo Garcia strikes again as Bianconeri bow out quietly. Gonzalo Garcia Sends Real Madrid Past Juventus in Sluggish Club World Cup Clash Real Madrid booked their place in the Club World Cup final with a narrow 1-0 win over Juventus in a labored encounter in Miami, where Gonzalo Garcia once again proved the difference-maker. In the stifling Florida humidity, energy and intensity were in short supply. The oppressive conditions took a visible toll on both European giants, who delivered a match that was more attritional than electric. Garcia, 21, stepped up yet again in the absence of the unwell Kylian Mbappé, scoring the decisive goal shortly after the break. The young forward’s third strike in four tournament matches adds weight to his growing case for a regular role in Real’s glittering lineup. Juventus came into the semi-final still smarting from a bruising 5-2 loss to Manchester City, but manager Igor Tudor rotated his squad heavily in hopes of a reset. Hi...
