Wisconsin's Most Wanted: Vang Her

He committed a violent robbery 25 years ago and went to prison. He had been following the law after being released, that is, until last summer. Fox 6's Ashley Sears with why U.S. Marshals say he's now on the run. If you're headed in the wrong direction, it's probably best to turn around. Very unpredictable. He knows he's been on the run for about a year. U.S. Marshals say Vang Hur was on the right track after his release from prison, but last summer he rolled the dice and went off course. He knows that people have gone looking for him. In 2001, the then 29-year-old was convicted of a violent armed robbery in Lincoln County, initially stopping at a home pretending to be lost. Investigators say he was part of a group who tied up a family, including a young child, and stole thousands from their home. Essentially cased the house, and him and a crew came back and took, I guess, advantage of everybody in the house. Hur served 17 years in prison and was released with 17 years of probation. In 2022, he was allowed to move to the Minneapolis area to be with family, but in 2025, he went on the run. Investigators say he was trying to avoid an immigration crackdown. He grew paranoid with being in Minnesota, and he decided to flee. U.S. Marshals believe the 54-year-old went to California. He has ties to Wisconsin and Minnesota. He uses the nicknames Chico, JJ, and Little One to stay under the radar. Turn yourself in, figure it out, but if you don't, we're going to come and find you. U.S. Marshals say it's time for him to stop wandering and get back on track. In Milwaukee, Ashley Sears, Fox 6 News. Thank you, Ashley. Vang Hur is 5'1", weighs about 140 pounds.
