The Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) has added Markeis Jamal Richardson, 36, of Texarkana, Texas, to the Texas 10 Most Wanted Fugitives List. Richardson, affiliated with the Loyalty Cash Business (LCB) gang and having ties to Texarkana and Dallas, was convicted in January 2020 in Texas for engaging in organized criminal activity, receiving a 10-year probation sentence. Later, in Arkansas, he was convicted of two counts of delivery of a controlled substance.
Warrants were issued in June 2022 by the Texarkana Police Department for Richardson's arrest on charges including robbery, engaging in organized criminal activity (aggravated assault), and engaging in organized criminal activity (money laundering). Subsequently, warrants were issued in Bowie County for violating his probation in July 2022, along with an additional warrant out of Arkansas for a parole violation.
To aid in Richardson's apprehension, Texas Crime Stoppers is offering a cash reward of up to $5,000 for information leading to his arrest. All tips provided will remain anonymous. Richardson, standing at 6 feet tall and weighing around 245 pounds, has tattoos on his chest and both arms. He may also go by the nickname "Big Kei."
