The FBI is offering a reward of up to US$50,000 in the investigation to find a jail escapee charged with murdering a Wake County Deputy in August 2022.

Alder Marin-Sotelo escaped from the Piedmont Regional Jail in Farmville, Virginia, on April 30, where he was being held awaiting trial on federal firearm related charges.

The FBI released photos from a video jail call made within hours of his escape to give the public awareness of what he looks like now.

Marin-Sotelo is a 26-year-old Hispanic male; 5 feet, 6 inches tall; 150 pounds; with brown eyes and black hair. When he escaped, he was wearing a gray prison sweatsuit, but may have changed clothes or could be wearing a disguise.

Marin-Sotelo left the jail in Virginia driving a 2003 red or burgundy Ford Mustang with a 30-day North Carolina temporary tag.

He is considered extremely dangerous.
