FBI and U.S. Embassy in Mexico Release New Photos in Hunt for Fugitive Ryan Wedding

Officials describe the ex-Olympian as a violent cartel-scale trafficker likely hiding in Mexico under Sinaloa protection.

Overview

  • The FBI’s Los Angeles office posted a newly obtained image believed taken in Mexico in summer 2025, showing Wedding shirtless with a prominent lion tattoo on his chest.
  • The U.S. Embassy in Mexico shared another photo showing a different appearance for Wedding, though officials did not specify when or where it was taken.
  • The State Department is offering up to $15 million for information leading to Wedding’s arrest or conviction, with tips accepted via WhatsApp, Signal or Telegram at (424) 495-0614 or at tips.fbi.gov.
  • Authorities allege Wedding oversaw shipments of hundreds of kilograms of cocaine from Colombia through Mexico and Southern California to Canada and other U.S. locations, drawing comparisons to Escobar and El Chapo.
  • Recent indictments accuse him of ordering multiple murders, including a Jan. 31 Medellín witness killing and a mistaken-identity double homicide in Ontario, as investigators report asset seizures such as a $13 million Mercedes and $3.2 million in cryptocurrency and dozens of associate arrests.
