The Lone Star Fugitive Task Force Assists in the Arrests of Suspects
in Connection with Recent Kidnapping in San Antonio, Texas

San Antonio, TX – On 01/21/2010, two victims were kidnapped at gun point from their home by a total of six suspects, and were held while the suspects demanded ransom for their release. The victims subsequently escaped from their captors. Since then, the San Antonio Police Department, assisted by the Lone Star Fugitive Task Force has captured five of the six suspects, leaving one (Steven Arreola) still on the run.

Most recently, suspect Richard Guevara was arrested by the Lone Star Fugitive Task Force on 02/01/2010, when information was obtained on his location in San Antonio, TX. Richard Guevara is wanted for multiple counts of aggravated kidnapping, and one count of aggravated burglary.

Acting U.S. Marshal Fernando Karl states, “Aggravated kidnapping is a felony crime in any state, and this is what our cooperative efforts with the San Antonio Police Department are all about, taking violent fugitives off the streets.”
