Gang
Member Arrested On Allegations of First Degree Murder
San Antonio, TX – Latray Whitley, 23,
was arrested yesterday evening by the Lone Star Fugitive Task Force in San
Antonio without incident. An arrest warrant was issued by the San Antonio
Police Department (SAPD) Homicide Division, where it is alleged that Whitley
committed first degree murder.
With the assistance of the SAPD Repeat
Offenders Program (ROPE) unit and the San Antonio Fear Free Environment (SAFFE)
unit, task force officers determined that Whitley was living in an apartment
located in the 9500 block of Lorene Lane. Task force officers entered the
residence and Whitley was immediately arrested.
Whitely is currently being held in Bexar
County Jail on a $250,000 bond.
In November 2009, Whitley and his
brother Hollis Nealy, both members of the Wheatley Court Gangsters, allegedly
went to the Studio Night Club armed with handguns to retaliate against a member
of a rival gang, the East Terrorist Gangsters. As the member from the East
Terrorist Gangsters exited the night club’s parking lot in his vehicle, Whitley
and Nealy followed. At a traffic light located at IH-35 and Eisenhauer Road,
Whitley and Nealy pulled up next to the vehicle and fired shots killing the
driver. In June of this year, the arrest warrant was issued for both Whitley
and Nealy. Nealy was immediately arrested, but Whitley was a fugitive until
yesterday evening.
Robert R. Almonte, United States Marshal
for the Western District of Texas, states, “Once again The Lone Star Fugitive
Task Force was able to arrest an alleged violent offender with the assistance
of local law enforcement. As we continue to work together, more arrests will be
made and more lives will hopefully be saved.”
