Officials obtained fugitive’s GPS coordinates after he took to social media
A Texas outlaw on the Lone Star State’s 10 most-wanted list was arrested Tuesday in Los Angeles after he posted a video to Instagram of himself showing off his arsenal of weapons.
Christopher Ricardo Gonzalez, 18, was arrested after Dallas authorities tracked his location to a Los Angeles suburb, where he was taken into custody around 2am with the assistance of a police dog. Texas officials supplied Los Angeles police with the fugitive’s GPS coordinates following his Instagram post.
The fugitive, aka Little Chris, is connected to the Bloods and is wanted on suspicion of murder, robbery, and a string of home invasions, the authorities said.
Gonzalez was tracked down to a rented Chevrolet SUV in Woodland Hills, where he and another man fled in the vehicle when police arrived. They smashed into a telephone pole and fled the vehicle and were arrested shortly thereafter when a police dog tracked them down.
Gonzalez remained Tuesday in a Los Angeles jail awaiting extradition to Texas.
