The FBI's St. Louis Field Office, in collaboration with the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of Missouri, recently announced the addition of Donald Eugene Fields II to the FBI's Ten Most Wanted Fugitives list.
Fields II has been accused of participating in sex trafficking activities and is being sought after for his alleged involvement in the trafficking of at least one child in Missouri between 2013 and 2017. He has been added to the list as the 531st fugitive. A federal arrest warrant was issued for him in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri on December 8, 2022
The FBI is offering a reward of up to $250,000 for information leading to the arrest of Fields II. To increase the likelihood of capturing a Ten Most Wanted Fugitive, the reward for information leading directly to their arrest is being increased from up to $100,000 to up to $250,000.
The FBI acknowledges the significance of public assistance in tracking down fugitives over the years. Assistant Director Luis Quesada of the FBI's Criminal Investigative Division stated that increasing the rewards for the Ten Most Wanted Fugitives will likely result in additional public tips leading to the arrest of these dangerous criminals. Violent crime is a growing threat to both law enforcement and communities across the country, and the reward offers of up to $250,000 represent the FBI's commitment to safeguarding our citizens.
