Abraham Quintanilla, III – aka A.B. Quintanilla, aka the late Selena’s oldest brother – has ghosted. Following a Nueces County Sheriff’s Office recent Facebook post that listed him as one of the region’s top 10 most wanted for the month of August, Quintanilla deactivated his very active social media pages. The 53-year-old musician’s face appears beside the words “contempt of court non payment child support” on the office’s Facebook page. (He’s also listed as white for some reason.)

According to Kris 6 News, AB owes more than $87,000 in child support for one of his children. In 2012, when a judge ordered him to pay $1,500 a month, he owed more than $43,000, documents from the Texas Attorney General’s office show. He reportedly complied with the court’s orders for about a year, but stopped making payments in December 2013.

Capt. Monica Rios, a spokeswoman for the Nueces County Sheriff’s Office, stated that Quintanilla has not turned himself in and his whereabouts are unknown. “Our concern is to execute this warrant and bring him into custody,” she told Time. “We’re doing what we’re doing to find him.”
