Wanted shooter arrested hours after FOX 4's Trackdown
Earlier Wednesday evening, FOX 4’s Shaun Rabb reported that authorities in Tarrant County were still looking for one of three men wanted for a shootout over the weekend. Right after we showed his face on FOX 4, the calls came pouring in from viewers.
WHITE SETTLEMENT, Texas - FOX 4's Trackdown has led to more than 150 arrests so far, and we can now add two more.
One arrest happened while our cameras rolled. The other happened just hours after Wednesday’s Trackdown segment on FOX 4 News at 5:30.
Earlier Wednesday evening, FOX 4’s Shaun Rabb reported that authorities in Tarrant County were still looking for one of three men wanted for a shootout over the weekend. His name is Jason Davis.
The police chief for White Settlement called him "Public Enemy No. 1."
Right after we showed Davis' face on FOX 4, the calls poured in.
Tips from FOX 4 viewers led authorities directly to Davis, and they made an arrest.
On Saturday, White Settlement police said three men were involved in a shootout on Albert Street. Doorbell cameras captured video of the gun battle on the residential street.
"This was a very egregious shooting – lots of rounds, running gun battle that started on a residential street ended up on multiple streets. We have multiple homes, multiple cars struck. It's a miracle it's a miracle no one was seriously injured or killed," said White Settlement Police Chief Chris Cook.
Angel Pimienta was arrested in connection to the crime Tuesday night.
Our cameras were rolling Wednesday when another one of those three suspects – John Thomas Aguilar – was caught.
"Yeah, we just arrested one of our three shooting suspects right now we were getting ready to profile him with your show," Chief Cook said.
All three men wanted for the shooting are now in custody.
"This work is unfolding right behind us, and it shows us really the dangerous element that sometimes our communities face and that's why we need people like you to help us get these people back in jail," the chief said.
White Settlement police and the Tarrant County Task Force will continue to track down all of those involved in violent gun crimes in Tarrant County, he said.
