The Corpus Christi Police Department is aware of a recent news story regarding an Officer involved incident that presents a one sided account of the events.  The incident occurred on April 17, 2025. In order to provide full context, we have made the decision to release the unedited body worn camera and dash camera video.

The only redactions made to the footage are motor vehicle license plates. License plate numbers may be redacted from radio traffic and blurred in the videos to protect privacy. No other edits have been made.

We understand and appreciate the concerns that have been raised, and we take those concerns very seriously. The released videos show that the officer had probable cause to conduct a traffic stop on the vehicle. The vehicle subsequently eluded the officer, continued through a stop sign, and ultimately pulled over in a secluded area.

When the officer made contact with the operator of the vehicle, the individual failed to comply with verbal commands and proceeded to reach toward the vehicle’s center console.  The officer then removed the male from the vehicle. The individual continued to refuse verbal commands during the encounter.  Every day, officers make split second decisions based on real time circumstances.

We recognize that the videos may be difficult to watch and advise viewers that strong language is present. We also want the public to be aware that the dash camera audio is not audible, and the body worn camera audio begins approximately 30 seconds into the recording of the body camera video.

The Corpus Christi Police Department recognizes the importance of maintaining the public’s trust and will continue striving to meet our community’s expectations of professionalism. For many years, we have worked diligently to build strong relationships and earn the trust of those we serve, and we remain committed to continuing that work. We appreciate the continued support of our department and our officers.

CCPD Narcotics and Vice Investigations Division Detectives concluded a month’s long investigation into drug dealing on the city’s southside early Thursday morning, serving a search warrant at a residence on the 4800 block of H. Boyd Hall Street. During the search, investigators found and seized over thirty-three ounces of THC liquid and approximately seven ounces of psilocybin mushrooms. In addition, Detectives seized over $12,000 in cash, seven semi-automatic handguns, one 12-gauge magazine-fed shotgun, one 5.56mm AR-type pistol, and one 7.62mm semi-auto rifle.

Due to the existence of multiple firearms in the residence, CCPD SWAT was called upon to make entry and secure the home prior to the search. As a result of the search, NVID Detectives arrested Nicolas Medrano, and Gabriel Medrano. Both were charged with felony possession of a controlled substance. The investigation is ongoing and additional charges and arrests are possible.

On February 16, 2026, at 3:00 pm Officers with the Corpus Christi Police Department were dispatched to the 1900 block of Secretariat Dr. in reference to a shooting.

After Officers arrived, they located a male with multiple gunshot wounds and immediately began administering first aid until medics arrived.

Detectives with the Criminal Investigations Division were called to the scene due to the nature of the call. It was determined that a disturbance occurred over services rendered and a weapon was produced.

The male was transported to a local hospital where he later succumbed to his injuries.

Multiple people were detained at the scene and will be transported to Main Station for formal interviews with detectives.

This is still an active and ongoing investigation. If you have any information about this incident, you are encouraged to call the Corpus Christi Police Department Criminal Investigations Division at 361-886-2840.

The FBI Corpus Christi Resident Agency and the Corpus Christi Police Department are asking for the public’s help in identifying and locating a man dubbed the “High-Vis Heister” who robbed an American Bank in Corpus Christi last week.

The robbery occurred at approximately 2:30 p.m. on Friday, January 30, 2026, at the American Bank located at 4145 South Alameda Street. During the robbery, the suspect entered the bank, threw a bag at a teller, displayed a black handgun, and verbally demanded cash. Fearing for her life, the teller handed the suspect an undisclosed amount of cash. The suspect then fled the bank on foot, entered a dark-colored SUV, and was last seen driving south on Everhart Road. No one was physically hurt during the robbery.

The robber is described as a Hispanic male in his early 30s to early 40s, approximately 5’9” tall with a medium build. During the robbery, he wore a camouflaged-colored Hooey baseball cap, dark sunglasses, a ski mask, a long-sleeved black shirt, dark pants, cowboy boots, a black Hardy glove, and a florescent high-visibility safety vest.

Photographs of the bank robbery suspect are attached. They can also be found on FBI Houston’s X and Facebook accounts.

Detectives from the Corpus Christi Police Department’s Narcotics and Vice Investigations Division continue to exert pressure on illicit gambling operations within our city by serving search warrants on two illegal gambling establishments Thursday afternoon.

NVID Detectives first raided an unnamed game room located in the 1900 block of South Padre Island Dr. Although closed at the time, Detectives seized 102 illegal gaming components and one ATM. Detectives followed up with a second search warrant at an illegal game room located in the 1700 block of South Padre Island Dr. During that search, Detectives found and seized 119 items of illegal gambling equipment, one ATM, and over $25,000 in cash. Employees Jayla Garcia, age 21, Raykwon Blake, age 24, Erick Castro, age 25, and 26-year-old Orly Villarreal were arrested and charged with Violation of the Nueces County Game Room Ordinance, Keeping a Gambling Place, Gambling Promotion, Possession of a Gambling Device, and Engaging in Organized Criminal Activity. Engaging in Organized Criminal Activity is a State Jail Felony, punishable by up to two years in jail and a maximum $10,000 fine. The other charges are class A misdemeanors. Twenty-five adult patrons inside the game room were cited for gambling, a class C misdemeanor.

The two operations were the result of intensive, months-long investigations that uncovered evidence of illegal gambling. The investigation continues into each business, and additional arrests are expected.

NVID was assisted by Officers with the CCPD Traffic Section as well as an investigator with the Office of the Texas Comptroller.

The Corpus Christi Police Department reminds citizens that game rooms which pay out cash rewards, or rewards that can be immediately redeemed for cash are engaging in illegal gambling. Patrons as well as the management of these establishments face criminal charges.

The Corpus Christi Police Department continues to collaborate with our local, state, and federal partners to investigate and combat illegal gambling. Detectives will continue to enforce all Texas gambling laws, helping us accomplish our mission to reduce crime, reduce the fear of crime and to improve the quality of life in our community.
