Fox LA covered the story exclusively:

Authorities have now identified the man they say threw rocks at Border Patrol vehicles Saturday in Paramount, injuring one of their agents.

According to U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli, the suspect has been identified as Elpidio Reyna.

“He thinks he’s untouchable,” said Essayli. “He’s finding out tonight that he has unleashed the power of the federal government, and we will find him.”

On Saturday, Border Patrol had a staging area in Paramount when they were confronted by protesters. Agitators then started throwing glass bottles and chunks of cement toward authorities, who fired back with tear gas and rubber bullets.

“As our agents were leaving the area, rocks were thrown, severely injuring one of our agents,” said Chief Gregory Bovino from Border Patrol’s El Centro sector.

Video obtained by Fox shows Border Patrol agents leaving the tense situation Saturday while their vehicle was hit by numerous rocks.

The FBI used social media videos and a FOX 11 news report to identify the rock thrower they say is named Elpidio Reyna.

Elpidio Reyna is still wanted by the FBI.

AG Pam Bondi told Fox News the following:

U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli identified Elpidio Reyna as the suspect who was captured on video allegedly throwing rocks at federal officers in Paramount, California.

The FBI initially asked for the public’s help by offering a $50,000 cash reward for information leading to the man’s arrest. He was accused of injuring a federal officer after throwing rocks at law enforcement vehicles, according to the FBI.

Bondi was a guest on “Hannity” Monday night, when she broke the news to host Sean Hannity.

“The FBI has identified him,” Bondi said. “That guy has just been identified, and they are doing a search warrant on his house, as we speak. And he has been identified…his name is [Reyna]. He is going to be on the Most Wanted list.

“He has been identified by the great police work by the FBI,” she continued. “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.”
