(NewsNation) —  The biggest Texas manhunt in nearly 20 years continues for an escaped convicted murderer who authorities say has ties to the Mexican Mafia. Gonzalo Lopez, 46, has been on the run since last Thursday after getting out of his handcuffs, stabbing an officer and hijacking a prison transport bus carrying 15 other inmates. One of the guards ended up shooting out the tires of the bus during the ordeal, and that's when investigators say Lopez ran into a field. The escape happened near the town of Centerville, a rural area between Dallas and Houston.
