Fort Myers, Florida – Elvis Reniery Callejas Flores (43, Honduras) has been sentenced by U.S. District Judge Kyle C. Dudek to two years in federal prison for aggravated identity theft. Callejas Flores pleaded guilty on September 4, 2025.
United States Attorney Gregory W. Kehoe made the announcement.According to court documents, Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) was contacted by the International Criminal Police Organization (INTERPOL) about Callejas Flores, a Honduran national living in Florida. INTERPOL provided a copy of latent fingerprints from Callejas Flores and information that he was using the assumed identities of two different United States citizens. On February 24, 2025, HSI agents encountered Callejas Flores at a construction site in Cape Coral.
Callejas Flores provided agents with a Florida driver license as identification using the name of a victim. Further, Callejas Flores falsely claimed that he had been born in New York.On April 10, 2025, HSI agents executed a search warrant at Callejas Flores’s home. During the search, agents located items that identified the true name of Callejas Flores. They also located the New York birth certificate in the name of the victim that Callejas Flores had used without lawful authority.
A latent fingerprint comparison of the prints provided by INTERPOL and fingerprints taken by law enforcement on two prior encounters with Callejas Flores, when he used two different names, confirmed that the fingerprints belonged to the same individual.“Safeguarding personal information in today’s modern world is becoming increasingly difficult, yet paramount to prevent fraud and the victimization of unwitting citizens,” said U.S. Attorney Gregory W. Kehoe. “The cooperation and diligent investigation by INTERPOL and Homeland Security Investigations in this case proved successful in revealing the true identity of a bad actor and bringing him to justice.” “Identity theft is a serious crime that undermines the integrity of our nation’s identification systems and victimizes innocent citizens,” said Homeland Security Investigations Ft.
Myers Resident Agent in Charge John Yancey. “HSI, alongside our partners, remains committed to protecting the public by investigating and prosecuting those who use stolen identities to conceal their true identity and evade the law. This conviction demonstrates our dedication to holding offenders accountable and safeguarding the security of our communities.”This case was investigated by Homeland Security Investigations. It was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Yolande G.
