Reyna was allegedly seen on video throwing rocks at law enforcement vehicles during protests in the south LA city of Paramount on Saturday afternoon, injuring a federal officer and damaging government cars, the FBI said.

"Turn yourself in," FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino tweeted Tuesday. "It’s only a matter of time."

The FBI said it's offering a reward up to $50,000 for information leading to Reyna's arrest and conviction. Anyone with information is asked to call 1-800-CALL-FBI.

Meanwhile, the Trump administration has dispatched 700 Marines to LA and increased the California National Guard presence to 4,000, despite California Gov. Gavin Newsom's objections.
