Woman wanted since 2023 in alleged murder of her 6-year-old son arrested: FBI
A woman wanted for capital murder in the suspected death of her 6-year-old son has been arrested more than two years after she boarded a flight from the United States to India, FBI Director Kash Patel announced on Wednesday. Cindy Rodriguez Singh, who had been named a top 10 most wanted fugitive by the FBI, faces charges in Texas for allegedly murdering her son, Noel Alvarez, authorities said. Noel had not been seen since October 2022, according to police in Everman, Texas, where the family lived at the time. He was last seen alive around the birth of his twin sisters, "appearing unhealthy and malnourished," police said. Everman police conducted a welfare check for him on March 20, 2023, at the request of the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services, according to the FBI. During the welfare check interview, Rodriguez Singh allegedly lied to officers about Noel's whereabouts when she said the boy had been living with his biological father in Mexico since November 2022, according to the FBI. Two days later, she boarded a flight to India with her husband and six other children, the FBI said. Not on the flight was Noel, whose mother had applied for passports for all of her children except him in November 2022, local police said.

Rodriguez Singh is not believed to have returned to the U.S. since boarding the flight to India, the FBI said. She was charged with capital murder of a person under 10 years of age in October 2023 in Tarrant County district court, authorities said. A month later, a federal arrest warrant for the charge of unlawful flight to avoid prosecution was issued against her, the FBI said. Rodriguez Singh, 40, was added to the FBI's "Ten Most Wanted Fugitives" list in July. The agency had been offering up to a $250,000 reward for information leading to her arrest and conviction. MORE: Body of missing pregnant 18-year-old found, ex-boyfriend confessed to murder: Officials Patel thanked the FBI's local partners in Texas, the Justice Department, and "as well as partners in India for the coordinating." He did not say when or where specifically Rodriguez Singh was arrested. "This is the 4th '10 Most Wanted" fugitive arrested in the last 7 months," he said in a post on X. "That's a credit to tremendous field work, law enforcement partners, intelligence operatives, and an administration who is letting good cops do their jobs." Texas Sen. Ted Cruz said on X that he is "glad to see Rodriguez Singh being brought back to Texas from India, where she will finally face justice for the alleged heinous crime of murdering her child."

FBI arrests woman on 'Ten Most Wanted Fugitives' hiding in India, transports to US for prosecution
EXCLUSIVE: The FBI captured and arrested an individual on the FBI's "Ten Most Wanted Fugitives" list, Cindy Rodriguez Singh in India, for the alleged murder of her 6-year-old son, Fox News Digital has learned. Fox News Digital has learned that Rodriguez Singh had an active federal warrant for "Unlawful Flight to Avoid Prosecution," and an active Texas state warrant for "Capital Murder of a Person Under 10 years of age." Rodriguez-Singh fled the United States to avoid prosecution for the alleged murder of her child, Noel Rodriguez Alvarez. On Oct. 3, 2024, an INTERPOL Red Notice was published for Rodriguez Singh and submitted to all member countries, including India. At that time, an extradition packet for Singh was also submitted. The FBI, in coordination with Indian authorities and INTERPOL, arrested Rodriguez Singh in India. She has been transported to the United States and the FBI will turn her over to Texas authorities. "The FBI's Ten Most Wanted list exists for cases just like this—where a dangerous fugitive thought she could run, hide overseas, and escape justice," an FBI Director Kash Patel told Fox News Digital. "Thanks to relentless FBI work and our international partnerships, Cindy Rodriguez-Singh is back on American soil to face accountability for the horrific murder of her own child." Patel added: "Justice has no borders, and today the American people can see that we will never stop pursuing those who prey on the most innocent among us." On March 20, 2023, the Everman Police Department was asked by the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services to conduct a welfare check on the 6-year-old son of Rodriguez Singh, after the child had not been seen since October 2022, according to the FBI. Singh's son had numerous health and developmental issues, including a severe developmental disorder, social disorder, bone density issues, chronic lung disease, pulmonary edema and estropia, according to officials. During the welfare check, officials said Rodriguez Singh lied to investigators and indicated that the child was in Mexico with his biological father and had been there since November 2022. On March 22, 2023, Rodriguez Singh, her husband, and 6 other juvenile children, boarded an international flight to India, the FBI said, adding that investigators confirmed that the missing child was not present and never boarded that flight. On October 31, 2023, Rodriguez Singh was charged with Capital Murder in the District Court of Tarrant County, Fort Worth, Texas. On November 2, 2023, a federal arrest warrant was issued for Rodriguez Singh in the United States District Court, Northern District of Texas, Fort Worth, Texas, after she was charged with Unlawful Flight to Avoid Prosecution. Rodriguez Singh was added to the "Most Wanted" list in July. Rodriguez Singh is the fourth person arrested on the "Most Wanted" list under Patel's leadership.

Suspect wanted in anti-ICE Texas ambush previously sued in past protest incident
More details are being learned about another suspect in the anti-ICE Texas attack that took place on Independence Day, including his alleged involvement in an Antifa protest that resulted in assault charges in 2023, as a manhunt continues in Texas and Oklahoma. The Federal Bureau of Investigation is looking for Benjamin Song, 32, for his alleged role in the Alvarado, Texas, attack targeting ICE agents, which left a local police officer shot in the neck and cars vandalized. The police officer is expected to recover. A $25,000 reward is being offered for information leading to his arrest and conviction. There were ten suspects already facing federal charges for the attempted murder of federal officers and for "discharging a firearm in relation to a crime of violence." Song is now facing the same charges. Song is a former U.S. Marine Corps reservist, and the FBI warns that he should be considered "armed and dangerous." Song was mentioned as an alleged member of an Antifa group in a 2023 lawsuit after three people protesting a drag queen brunch near Fort Worth, Texas, were assaulted by the members, according to the Post Millennial. According to KERA News, Song was part of the Elm Fork Brown Gun Club that was both counter-protesting and doing security at the event, with the outlet reporting that they wore face coverings. The group made headlines at the time for its Fort Worth counter-protest, including Rolling Stone, as those protesting were part of a Christian nationalist group. His father is Tailim Song, a Dallas-based business attorney, and his mother is Hope Song, the program director of an Arlington, Texas, martial arts studio, according to online records reviewed by Fox News Digital. The father is involved in various local community groups, including the Dallas Asian American Cultural Center. A twelfth suspect, Daniel Rolando Sanchez-Estrada, is also facing conspiracy to tamper evidence charges. He is reportedly the husband of one of the alleged attackers. He was granted a green card under the Biden administration and is a prior recipient of DACA, or Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals. Some of the suspects charged in the Independence Day incident met in an online chat group on Signal, and court records show it could have been worse. A July 7 criminal complaint filed by the U.S. District Court Northern District of Texas alleges that assailants shot 20 to 30 rounds from an AR-15-style rifle before it jammed, causing it to malfunction, on Independence Day. Investigators continued on Tuesday to look into how the suspects were linked, including through a possible Signal group chat. Court records revealed extensive planning as well as anti-government literature obtained in an apartment tied to a suspect, including literature entitled "Organising for Attack! Insurrectionary Anarchy." Another suspect allegedly had flyers in his backpack with "Fight ICE terror with class war!" and "Free all political prisoners." Cars in the parking lot were spray-painted with "Ice pig" and "traitor." Fox News Digital reached out to the FBI as well as Song's parents.
