Law enforcement agencies have issued an urgent alert for the capture of Karl Alexander Montoya, a fugitive wanted in Texas for alleged continuous sexual abuse of a child under 14 years of age. Montoya is believed to be hiding either within the Dallas Metropolitan area or in Mexico, prompting a cross-border manhunt to bring him to justice.

Montoya, a 38-year-old male, is currently wanted on charges of "Sex Abuse of a Child Continuous Under 14 Years of Age," a grave offense that has triggered an extensive search by local, state, and federal law enforcement agencies.

Authorities have reason to suspect that Montoya might be receiving assistance from family members, who are believed to be aiding in his evasion of capture. The close-knit network of support has complicated efforts to locate him, as he continues to evade law enforcement's reach.

Officials have urged anyone with information regarding Montoya's whereabouts to call 9-1-1.
