Sheriff: Man Arrested in Manhunt Wanted for Murder

The community can now breathe a sigh of relief as both suspects are in custody. Sheriff’s Office officials extended their gratitude to the San Angelo Police Department, Texas Department of Public Safety, and Homeland Security Investigations for their invaluable assistance.

Here are updates as the story happened, starting from Sunday evening:

UPDATE 3:55 p.m. - An eyewitness told us that late yesterday evening when driving in to San Angelo, they saw a man between the northbound and southbound lanes in the median of south US 87. He looked like he was waving for help, the witness who asked not to be identified said. The man was standing in the median at around the 800 block of US 87 near the intersection with Abbott Lane.

"We passed him and made a u-turn as soon as we could," the witness said.

As they approached from the opposite direction (southbound), they saw the man drop to his knees as others who had arrive at his location sooner were starting to give the man first aid as best they could. Within minutes and ambulance arrived, loaded the shooting victim up quickly, and whisked him away to Shannon ER. Sheriff's deputies also arrived at about the same time. Our eyewitness departed the scene.

By the time our witness arrived at their home, news had spread quickly that an armada of law enforcement was searching for a suspect with dogs and drones. By 8:18 p.m. last night, San Angelo police told us they were looking for a young black man and a Hispanic female.

The search continued overnight and into this afternoon. The woman was found and arrested first at around 12:45 p.m. The rest of the afternoon up and until around 3 p.m. the search for the man continued until the sheriff announced he was also in custody. Having purportedly shot someone and assumed armed, the sheriff and police warned citizens to stay indoors until the suspect was caught.

Arrested were Gloria Jaramillo and Michael D. Pacheco. We will learn more as the case unfolds.

UPDATE 2:22 p.m. The San Angelo Police Department announced that the area around Fairview School Road and Brodnax Lane off of south US 87 is all clear. Rumors are circulating that the suspect, earlier identified as Michael D. Pacheco, a Hispanic male about 36 years old, was captured. But these rumors are unconfirmed.

UPDATE 1:25 p.m. The Tom Green County Sheriff's Office SRT (SWAT team) just arrived at the scene on Brodnax Lane. The situation has signs of becoming a standoff. The Bearcat armored vehicle is the SRT vehicle.

UPDATE 12:50 p.m. - The female suspect, Gloria Jaramillo, has been arrested, according to a release from the Tom Green County Sheriff's Office at 12:45 p.m. Monday.

The male suspect has been identified as Michael D. Pacheco, 37, who is 5-foot-7, 150 pounds. He is considered armed and dangerous. If the suspect is spotted, do not approach and call 911.

The public has been advised to avoid the area of Fairview Road/Fairview School Road and Brodnax Lane until further notice due to police activity in the area. The area is completely shut down, and people are advised to stay in their homes.
