Those killed and captured remain on the police fugitives list

The Dominican Republic's National Police maintains a public gallery of fugitives that currently includes individuals who are deceased, already captured, or claim to have resolved their legal cases. This list, intended to assist authorities in identifying and locating wanted persons, has faced scrutiny for its lack of accuracy regarding the status of those listed.

The discrepancy in the database, which was highlighted following a police update on March 18, 2026, raises concerns regarding the administrative maintenance of official law enforcement records. The continued inclusion of these individuals suggests significant gaps in the synchronization between the police's public-facing information and the actual status of criminal investigations.
