Mfor, who has a troubling history with law enforcement, was wanted for sexual assault. His capture on March 2nd marked the culmination of a collaborative effort by various law enforcement agencies aimed at ensuring community safety. This operation highlights the commitment of Texas law enforcement to address criminal activities and reflects the importance of public vigilance and cooperation.

San Antonio’s Police Capture Notorious Fugitive from the Wanted List

Big news in San Antonio everyone! The city woke up to a buzz of excitement after the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) announced that they have successfully captured none other than Clarence Enyi Mfor, a 37-year-old fugitive who was on the infamous Texas 10 Most Wanted Criminal Illegal Immigrants List. Mfor’s capture took place on Sunday, March 2nd, marking the end of a long wait for authorities and a sense of relief for the community.

A Troubling History

Mfor’s journey has been anything but smooth. Originally from Cameroon, he found himself in trouble back in 2019 when U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) arrested him in California for being alien inadmissible. Fast forward to May 2023, and he was back in the spotlight when ICE apprehended him again in San Antonio for not having an immigration visa. Unfortunately, after this second arrest, he was released from a detention center, allowing him to slip back into the shadows.

Why was Mfor So Wanted?

Authorities put Mfor on the Texas Most Wanted list primarily because he was wanted out of Bexar County since January 2025 for a serious charge: sexual assault. With such a serious accusation hanging over his head, it’s no wonder that the DPS and other agencies kicked it into high gear to find him. His arrest illustrates the commitment of Texas law enforcement to address these pressing concerns.

A Collaborative Effort

Thanks to the hard work of special agents from the DPS assigned to the Texas Anti-Gang (TAG) Center in San Antonio, Mfor was found and apprehended. Their thorough training and determination to make the streets safer for everyone played a crucial role in bringing this wanted man to justice. This arrest reflects not only a successful operation but also the collaborative efforts of various law enforcement agencies in Texas to ensure community safety.

Recognizing the Risks

While many may feel a sense of relief following Mfor’s arrest, law enforcement agencies are reminding the public that fugitives considered dangerous should not be confronted directly. Anyone who spots a fugitive is encouraged to reach out anonymously to Texas Crime Stoppers. The hotline, 1-800-252-TIPS (8477), serves as a lifeline for tipping off authorities safely, without placing themselves in harm’s way.

Rewards and Community Involvement

Interestingly, there will be no Crime Stoppers reward offered for tips leading to Mfor’s capture, as no tips were submitted prior to his arrest. However, it’s worth noting that earlier this year, the Texas Department of Public Safety and other agencies managed to arrest 13 fugitives from the Texas 10 Most Wanted lists, which include both sex offenders and criminal illegal immigrants. In total, $20,000 has been rewarded for tips that led to these important arrests.

Conclusion: Safety First

It’s heartening to see communities come together to support safety initiatives, and the capture of Clarence Enyi Mfor is yet another reminder of the diligent work done by our law enforcement agencies. As San Antonio and the surrounding areas can testify, being vigilant and proactive plays a vital role in maintaining a safe environment. So, let’s keep that phone number handy and continue to stand united against crime!
