The FBI has identified a man who threw rocks at federal officers during anti-ICE riots in Los Angeles County over the weekend, the Justice Department announced.
U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli said Monday that 40-year-old Elpidio Reyna, a resident of Compton, California, was the man captured on video throwing rocks at law enforcement vehicles in Paramount, injuring one federal officer and damaging government vehicles. Reyna has not yet been arrested, and the FBI is offering $50,000 for information that leads to his capture.
“Elpidio Reyna can run, but he can’t hide. He threw rocks at federal officers leaving a command post in Paramount on Saturday, a brazen attack caught on film and that could have resulted in deaths. Reyna, 40, is charged with assault on a federal officer, and faces up to eight years in prison if convicted,” Essayli posted on X.

A video shared with the post shows a man wearing a motorcycle helmet pelting rocks at federal vehicles on Saturday afternoon.
Essayli’s post came after Attorney General Pam Bondi told Fox News host Sean Hannity that the FBI was conducting a search warrant at Reyna’s home. Bondi added that he would be on the FBI’s Most Wanted list.
“He has been identified by the great police work by the FBI,” she said. “So, you can run, you can’t hide. We are coming after you federally. If you assault a police officer, if you rob a store, if you loot, if you spit on police officers, we’re coming after you.”
Dozens of arrests have already been made throughout Los Angeles and San Francisco as rioters have been charged with vandalism, looting, and assaulting police officers. The unrest began after ICE started conducting operations in Los Angeles County on Friday, arresting sex offenders, gang members, and others who had been convicted on gun and drug charges.
Trump authorized sending another 2,000 National Guard troops to Los Angeles on Monday and deployed hundreds of Marines. He promised to throw the book at anyone who went after the troops.
“The Insurrectionists have a tendency to spit in the face of the National Guardsmen/women, and others,” he posted on Truth Social. “These Patriots are told to accept this, it’s just the way life runs. But not in the Trump Administration. IF THEY SPIT, WE WILL HIT, and I promise you they will be hit harder than they have ever been hit before. Such disrespect will not be tolerated!”
