Texas 10 Most Wanted Fugitive Arrested near Los Angeles

AUSTIN – Christopher Ricardo Gonzalez, 18, a Texas 10 Most Wanted Fugitive, is now in custody after being captured early Tuesday near Los Angeles, California. Gonzalez, affiliated with the Bloods gang, was wanted for murder, aggravated robbery and engaging in organized crime. The arrest was not the result of tip information received through Texas Crime Stoppers, and there is no reward paid.

Working off information obtained from Gonzalez posting an Instagram Live video, the Dallas Police Department identified a possible location in California and contacted the Los Angeles Police Department (PD) for assistance. Officers from the Los Angeles PD – Topanga Station located and apprehended Gonzalez in Woodland Hills, California, after a vehicle pursuit.”

Gonzalez, along with a group of suspects, was allegedly involved in some of the aggravated robbery home invasions that occurred in the Dallas Metroplex from October 2016 to February 2017. Authorities also sought Gonzalez for murder in Dallas in August 2016. For more information, see his captured bulletin at http://www.dps.texas.gov/Texas10MostWanted/MostWanted/fugitiveDetails?id=377.
