Dangerous Fugitive San Angelo Man Arrested for Double Capital Murder

 

SAN ANGELO, TX – A San Angelo fugitive was arrested Thursday evening in the city for a Capital Murder warrant alleging a brutal double homicide in Lubbock.

According to sources, on Mar. 24 at around 6:35 p.m. Bobby Gasca, 22, of San Angelo, was booked into the Tom Green County Sheriff's Office for capital murder of multiple persons.

Gasca was wanted out of Lubbock county for the murder of 31-year-old Michael Carson and 64-year-old Gregory Tubbs. The two were murdered on July 1, 2020, on the 300 block of Beech Ave. in Lubbock. Police believe that the shooting occurred during a drug deal gone wrong.

Police arrested Gasca after an officer spotted him at a local strip mall. Once he was approached, officers identified Gasca and arrested him without incident.

The other suspect, Edward Wilson Jr., was arrested in Jul 2020 and was released to Lubbock County the following month. Gasca has been wanted for the crime since 2020.

He will now be transferred to the Lubbock County Jail. His bond is set at $500,000.
