Continuing their campaign to eliminate illegal gambling within the Corpus Christi city limits, detectives with the Corpus Christi Police Department’s Narcotics and Vice Investigations Division served simultaneous search warrants Tuesday afternoon at two businesses on the city’s south side. Following a weeks-long investigation into the businesses that uncovered evidence of illegal gambling, detectives secured search warrants for two game rooms located in a strip mall on the 5300 block of Kostoryz Road. During the search, detectives seized gambling equipment, over $55,000 cash, and other evidence of illegal gambling. Two adult patrons contacted inside one of the game rooms were cited for Gambling, a Class C misdemeanor. Although not arrested at the time of the search warrant, the owner and manager face possible charges of Engaging in Organized Criminal Activity, Gambling Promotion, Keeping a Gambling Place, and Possession of a Gambling Device. Engaging in Organized Criminal Activity is a state jail felony punishable by up to two years in jail and a maximum $10,000 fine, while the other three charges are class A misdemeanors.
This investigation continues, and additional arrests are possible. The Corpus Christi Police Department reminds citizens that game rooms which pay out cash rewards are engaging in illegal gambling. Patrons as well as the management of these establishments may face criminal charges.
NVID Detectives were assisted in the operation by officers with the CCPD Operations Division and investigators with the State of Texas Comptroller’s Office, which regulates coin operated machines.
The Corpus Christi Police Department continues to collaborate with our local state and federal partners to investigate and combat illegal gambling.

As a follow-up to Saturday’s officer involved shooting, the following information has been made available for release.
As detailed in Saturday’s release, CCPD was the assisting agency on a Law Enforcement Assist, regarding a stolen vehicle.
We will be providing updates regarding the Officer Involved Shooting. Upon arrival of our officers, all three suspects refused to follow direct commands and proceeded to evade on foot. During the foot pursuit, one of our officers encountered one of the suspects on the 6100 block of SPID. The offender engaged the officer in a struggle before producing and discharging a handgun striking the officer, forcing the officer to use deadly force to protect his life.
Anytime an officer must use deadly force it is tragic, it is even more unsettling that a young man with a gun placed an officer in a position that seriously injured him and forced him to discharge his firearm.
Information garnered during the investigation led us to preliminarily identify the suspect as an adult.
This morning, December 5, 2022, the suspect was positively identified, and we can now confirm that he is a 16-year-old juvenile male. The juvenile male is still being treated at a local hospital.
Two additional suspects, a 16-year-old male and a 19-year-old male were arrested by the Nueces County Sheriff’s Office. Any additional information regarding those arrests shall be made by their agency.
Any additional updates will be released as they are made available for release.
Date: December 2, 2022 Location: 2400 Crews St. Offense: Murder Case Number: 2212020126
On December 2, 2022, at approx. 9:22 p.m. CCPD officers were dispatched to the 2400 block of Crews Street in reference to a welfare concern. Officers arrived and contacted family members who advised that they had not heard from the female victim in several days and that this was very unusual for her. The officers were told that other family members attempted to contact the victim but were unsuccessful as well. The officers further communicated with family members and the suspect, who would not allow officers to conduct the welfare check.
Due to the information provided to the officers and through their investigative efforts, officers believed that the victim was in danger. Officers contained the scene and were able to get a search warrant for the residence. Once the warrant was signed officers entered the residence and found the 46-year-old female deceased. CID was called and Officers arrested 62-year-old Hector Davila for murder and transported to the City Detention Center.
