Have You Seen Him: Miguel Angel Osorio-Munoz Wanted For Murder

AUSTIN – The Texas Department of Public Safety is asking for the public’s help in capturing a man wanted for the murder of a Texas rancher in 2000, in Gonzales, Texas.

The State of Texas is offering a $6,000 reward for information that leads to the capture and and conviction of Miguel Angel Osorio-Munoz, who is wanted for the murder of John Holt.

According to witnesses, Holt and Osorio-Munoz were seen arguing at the ranch on Sunday night, June 25, 2000.

Moments later, a witness saw Miguel flee the scene and subsequently found Holt dead from a gunshot wound.

Holt was a married father with two young daughters. Arrest warrants for murder and unlawful flight to avoid prosecution were obtained on Osorio-Munoz.

However, all efforts to locate him have been unsuccessful. Osorio-Munoz was originally thought to have fled to Mexico.

Osorio-Munoz is approximately 45 years old now, 5 feet 5 inches tall, heavyset, with brown hair and brown eyes.

He uses the alias of Cesar Alonso Osorio and Miguel Angel Osorio-Trujillo. The two photos above were taken in 2000 and are the latest photos available.

To be eligible for the cash rewards, tipsters must provide information to authorities by calling the Crime Stoppers hotline at 1-800-252-TIPS (8477). All tips are anonymous.

Individuals also can submit information through the Texas Ranger cold case website or by contacting us at 1-800-346-3243.
