wanted person
On the lam
A wanted person is someone being sought by law enforcement, typically because they're suspected of a crime or have an outstanding warrant for their arrest.
The term appears on wanted posters and in police bulletins: The wanted person was last seen heading north on Interstate 5.
A person of interest is not yet a wanted person.
