Child Predator from Cuba Named Featured Fugitive for December

AUSTIN – Texas 10 Most Wanted Criminal Illegal Immigrant William Herrera Zamora – a convicted child sex offender from Cuba – is this month’s Featured Fugitive. The reward for information leading to his arrest is increased to $8,500 during December if the tip is received this month.

William Herrera Zamora, 63, from Cuba, has been wanted out of Tarrant Co. since June 2022, when a warrant was issued by the Grapevine Police Department for his arrest for indecency with a child by sexual contact. Several weeks later, a warrant was issued by the Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles for a parole violation. Additionally, in January 2023, warrants were issued for his arrest by the Fort Worth Police Department for two counts of failure to comply with sex offender registration requirements.

In January 2019, Herrera Zamora was convicted on 10 counts of possession with intent to promote child pornography. He was subsequently sentenced to five years of confinement in a Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ) prison. In January 2021, Herrera Zamora was released on parole from TDCJ. He was turned over to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and was subsequently released to reside in Fort Worth.

Herrera Zamora is 5 feet 9 inches tall and weighs about 160 pounds. He has a tattoo on his upper left arm, a scar on his abdomen and is known to wear glasses. More information about Herrera Zamora or updates in the event of his arrest can be found here.
