FBI offers $1M reward for info on Omar Cardenas, suspect in 2019 L.A. barber shop murder.

The FBI has increased the reward to $1 million for information leading to the arrest of Omar Alexander Cardenas, a fugitive wanted for the 2019 fatal shooting of Jabali Dumas in a Los Angeles barber shop. Authorities believe the killing was gang-related, and Cardenas, who has known gang ties, fled to Mexico after being charged with murder and unlawful flight to avoid prosecution. The reward, initially $100,000 in 2022, was raised to $250,000 before reaching $1 million. Los Angeles Police Chief Jim McDonnell called the increase a critical step toward justice, while FBI officials emphasized strong U.S.-Mexico cooperation and warned Cardenas that Mexico is no longer a safe refuge. The FBI continues to seek public tips.
