Event: Vehicle Crash with Fatal Injury
Case Numbers: 1506170132, C1502733
The Corpus Christi Police Dive Team recovered a vehicle from the Nueces River at Labonte Park Wednesday afternoon and discovered a person inside the vehicle.
The Corpus Christi Police responded to a call for service at 8:57pm on June 17 from a 47-year-old man who told Officers that a van entered the water of the Nueces River at the end of the boat launch at Labonte Park. The raining conditions and strong current of the river did not allow Officers to locate any vehicle that night. The Corpus Christi Police Dive Team evaluated the area the next day and discovered an object at a depth of about 25 feet below the surface of the water, but the strong current and weather conditions made recovery too dangerous for divers. The Corpus Christi Police Dive Team determined at about noon on June 24 that conditions were acceptable for Divers to recover the object which the Officers learned was a silver Kia Rondo. Corpus Christi Police Divers brought the vehicle to the surface and learned the vehicle was registered to a missing woman out of San Antonio. Officers did locate the remains of a person inside the vehicle, but have not determined that person’s identity.
The Nueces County Medical Examiner’s Office took the remains for evaluation and to determine the identity of the person. Officers observed no obvious indication of foul play or that another person was involved in the incident, so the Corpus Christi Police Traffic Safety Section began taking measurements and collecting data for an investigation of a Vehicle Crash with a Fatal Injury.
The owner of the recovered vehicle is the subject of a Silver Alert from San Antonio which remains in effect unless the recovered remains discovered in the vehicle are determined to be the missing person by the Nueces County Medical Examiner’s Office.
Anyone who has any additional information about this event should call the Corpus Christi Police Traffic Safety Section at 361-886-2600

Offense: Burglary
P.C. 30.02 State Jail Felony
Case Number: 1506010030 Corpus Christi Police Detectives have released camera surveillance images of suspects they believe broke into Calallen High School two days into the summer break.
Officers were investigating another burglary call at Magee Elementary School, located at 4201 Calallen Drive, on June 1, when they became aware of several suspects seen walking around inside Calallen High School, 4001 Wildcat Drive. Officers responded to the high school and saw that the suspects had gained entry to the school through a back shutter near the cafeteria office.
While inside, the suspects damaged items in a small room and several administrators offices were broken into and ransacked.
As officers were attempting to secure this scene, they saw four suspects exit the rear of the high school and get into a dark colored suburban. The suburban had its lights off and left going through a field in an attempt to escape. The suburban came out from the field at a car wash, located at 14058 Northwest Boulevard, with its lights off and drove through the front chained gate of the business. The suspect vehicle was last seen traveling west on Northwest Boulevard.
Officers do believe the suspect vehicle had extensive damage done to the front of it when it crashed through the chain.
Surveillance camera images show several suspects inside of the high school.
Detectives believe that both, the elementary school and high school burglaries and the destruction to property are related.
Detectives need your help identifying any of the suspects involved in this crime. Anyone with information about this case should call the Corpus Christi Police Criminal Investigations Division at 886-2840. Anyone who would like to keep their identity secret and provide information to the Detectives should call Crime Stoppers at 888-TIPS (8477) or submit the tip online at http://www.888TIPS.com.
