The list is only 13 people because two have already been caught.

Each suspect on the list has outstanding warrants for crimes ranging from aggravated assault to conspiracy to commit murder.

Us attorney charlie peeler, says crime stoppers can not catch these criminals without your help.

"the community is out there, they know in a lot of instances where individuals are and they're willing to come forward and anonymously provide information so people can be arrested when they need to be arrested."

Crimestoppers also announced they've expanded their resources to social media.

The organization is now on facebook, twitter, linkedin, youtube, tik tok, and instagram.

Chairman of the board, warren selby, says they're trying to expand services to help younger people feel more comfortable with sharing tips.

"we want to go to the people, because we're asking people in the community for their help, so we're just going where they are and social platforms like tik tok are very popular, particularly with our young people and if we can feel like we can reach just a few of those young people where maybe the word will spread and they feel like they have information that they can provide for us it will help make the streets safer, and that's our goal."

You can still call crime stoppers with tips at 1-877-68crime, or send a direct messages with information on social media.

Rewards will be given the same way for those who give tips on social media.

"everyone has the same goal, that is they want a safe neighborhood.

I certainly applaud everything that crimestoppers is doing, law enforcement, but most importantly i applaud our citizens for coming forward with c1 3 b13 information that helps law enforcement identify these folks."
