DPS Adds Tango Blast Houston Gang Member to Top 10 Most Wanted

 

AUSTIN, TX—The Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) has added David Lee Gonzales, 40, to the Texas 10 Most Wanted Fugitives list and a cash reward up to $7,500 is now being offered for information leading to his capture. Gonzales, a confirmed Tango Blast Houston gang member, is wanted for parole violation, according to a DPS press release.

In 2005, Gonzales was arrested in Pasadena, Texas, after he burglarized a residence and physically assaulted a man, causing serious bodily injury.

He was convicted of Burglary of Habitation - Committed Aggravated Assault and was sentenced to 25 years in prison. Gonzales’ criminal history also includes robbery, possession of marijuana and evading arrest.

Gonzales has been wanted since March 2016 and has ties to Houston.

Gonzales is 6 feet 1 inches tall and weighs approximately 250 pounds. Gonzales has a tattoo of a teardrop on his left cheek near his eye, a tattoo of a star on the right side of his head, and other tattoos on his arms, legs, chest and back.

For more information or updates in the event of his arrest, see his wanted bulletin at: www.dps.texas.gov/Texas10MostWanted/fugitiveDetails.aspx?id=359.

Texas Crime Stoppers, which is funded by the Governor’s Criminal Justice Division, offers cash rewards to any person who provides information that leads to the arrest of one of the Texas 10 Most Wanted fugitives or sex offenders. So far in 2017, Texas Crime Stoppers has paid $27,500 in total rewards for anonymous tips that resulted in arrests.

To be eligible for the cash rewards, tipsters must provide information to authorities using one of the five following methods:

All tips are anonymous, regardless of how they are submitted, and tipsters will be provided a tip number instead of using a name.

DPS investigators work with local law enforcement agencies to select fugitives for the Texas 10 Most Wanted Fugitive and Sex Offender lists. The current lists – with photos – can be found on the DPS website at http://www.dps.texas.gov/texas10mostwanted/.

DPS urge the public to never attempt apprehending these fugitives alone, as they are considered armed and dangerous.
