A Blue Alert has been activated in Oklahoma as authorities continue to search for Benjamin Hanil Song, a 32-year-old fugitive wanted in connection with the shooting of a federal officer at an ICE detention facility in Texas.
According to the Oklahoma Highway Patrol (OHP), the alert was issued as a precautionary measure following Texas’ issuance of a Blue Alert after the incident.
Although there is no confirmed sighting of Song in Oklahoma, the alert serves to raise public awareness and ensure public safety.
Details of the Suspect and Incident
Benjamin Hanil Song is described as an Asian male, standing 5 feet 6 inches tall, with black hair and brown eyes.
The FBI alleges that Song participated in an armed attack on an officer at the Prairieland Detention Center in Alvarado, Texas, on July 4, 2025.
He faces charges of attempted murder of a federal officer and is one of 10 individuals implicated in the assault.
Manhunt Intensifies Across Multiple States
Authorities have offered a $35,000 reward for information that leads to Song’s capture. He has also been placed on Texas’ 10 Most Wanted list.
While there is no direct evidence placing Song in Oklahoma, state and federal law enforcement—including the Arkansas State Police—are working to disseminate his information to the public across multiple jurisdictions.
Public Safety Alert: Armed and Dangerous
Officials warn that Song should be considered armed and dangerous. Residents are urged not to approach him and to report any sightings or tips by calling 1-800-CALL-FBI immediately.
As the search for Benjamin Hanil Song continues, authorities emphasize the importance of community vigilance.
The Blue Alert in Oklahoma is not an indication of immediate threat but a preventive action to keep the public informed.
Anyone with credible information is encouraged to come forward to assist in the ongoing investigation.
