Occurred on 12/06/12, 1:14 pm  Wanted Gang Member  4300 Gulfbreeze Boulevard  1212060073

Corpus Christi Gang Unit Investigators observed wanted gang member Russell Longoria (12/14/86) driving a Nissan Maxima in the 5800 block of Weber Road.

Officers attempted to pull Longoria over; however, he refused to stop and led Police on a high-speed chase.  Police terminated the pursuit, but continued to search for Longoria.  Officers began looking at known locations where Longoria frequents.  Approximately 15 minutes later, Lt. J. Gray observed Longoria in the 4300 block of Gulfbreeze where he was taken into custody.

Longoria was arrested and booked at the City Detention Center charged with Evading Arrest and three outstanding warrants for Aggravated Assault with a Deadly Weapon ($200,000 Bond), Engaging in Organized Criminal Activity (No Bond) and Felon in Possession of a Firearm (No Bond).

A warrant had been obtained for Longoria and three other individuals who were involved in planning and assaulting a 21-year-old Corpus Christi man.  The assault stemmed from a work related incident in which two individuals had been fired when one of the men’s wife showed at their place of employment and caused a disturbance.

Gang Unit Officers had previously arrested Rhonda Longoria (11/02/90) during a traffic stop for her involvement in the assault.  She was charged with Engaging in Organized Criminal Activity. Her young son who was a passenger in the vehicle was released to his aunt.

Police are still looking for the two other known gang members who are also wanted for their involvement in the November 29, 2012 assault.  Richard Longoria (12/01/92) has an outstanding warrant for Engaging in Organized Criminal Activity ($200,000 Bond).

Geronimo (Jeronimo) Sanchez (11/03/80) is also wanted for Engaging in Organized Criminal Activity ($200,000 Bond) and Violation of Bond Conditions~Unlawful Possession of Firearm by a Felon (No Bond).

If you know the whereabouts of these two men we ask that you call Crime Stoppers at 888-TIPS.  Callers will earn a cash reward if the men are arrested.  The Corpus Christi Police Department asks that if you see these men, you do attempt to apprehend them, but call 911 as they are known to have violent tendencies.
