Ishmael Farquharson from the West Midlands is wanted in connection with the murder of 16-year-old Sekou Doucoure in Birmingham in July 2022.
The charity is offering rewards for anonymous information they receive - either online or via freephone 0800 555 111 - that leads to their arrest.
A bounty of up to £5,000 is being offered by the independent charity for each of the men for information Crimestoppers receives that leads to their arrest.
Between them the five fugitives are wanted for murder, rape and sexual assault, attempted rape, large-scale drug dealing and fraud.
Since 2005, Most Wanted has been highly successful with over 4,800 arrests from 17,000 appeals.
