Case Number: 1501010118
Corpus Christi Police Detectives need your help identifying a suspect that ran out of the Academy Store, located at 5001 South Padre Island Drive with an AR-15 style  rifle on New Year’s Day.

Witnesses noticed a short young male with a thin build wearing all black and a beanie pulled low on his head in the firearms section of the store.  When a store employee put the Bushmaster .223 caliber M4 rifle down on the counter, the suspect picked it up and acted like he was looking at it, but then quickly ran away with it.

The suspect ran out of the store through the side emergency exit door that led to the parking lot. Witnesses saw the suspect get into a Ford F150 truck with another male.

Store video surveillance captured camera images of the suspect while he was walking through the store, and while he was making his escape.  There is also a very dark image of the parking lot of the store that shows the suspect vehicle.

Officers are very concerned that this high power, high capacity weapon is on our city streets in the hands of such brazen criminals .  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.

While officers were investigating, a 22 year old male victim and his brother walked up covered in blood and they both appeared to be intoxicated. The victim had a stab wound to the middle of his back. Both brothers were yelling and cursing at officers and the medics that were on the scene to assist them.

At first, the victim refused to be treated by CCFD EMS but later he agreed if his brother was allowed to go with him. Once in the ambulance both brothers became combative again and were trying to hit the medics.

The brother, Jacob Ferstl (01/08/1991), was arrested for interfering with duties of a public servant, a Class B misdemeanor and public intoxication.

The victim was handcuffed to the stretcher for the safety of the medics and transported to Spohn Memorial Hospital.

After an investigation it was determined that both brothers were involved in a disturbance with a group of other men in the bar. The disturbance moved outside as the bar was closing and it was at that time the victim was stabbed in the back by one of the other men.

The victim refused to provide officers with any information regarding the suspect who stabbed him.
