Marcus Barrios dated Sophia for six months. She left him when she found out his sorted past. “The last run-in was a stalking charge. He had a history of assaults against ex-girlfriends,” said Constable Mark Mull.
Hale County Crime stoppers is offering a reward up to $1,000 for information leading to Barrio’s arrest. The two were last seen driving away in a 2002 Chevy Malibu like this one with the license plate number H17-ZRJ .
The car also has a Longhorn sticker on the back window. If you have any information, call the Texas Rangers at (806) 296-2724. Because of Barrios’s history of violence and gang relations, Hale County called the Texas Rangers and the U.S. Marshals to assist.
