The detectives got in touch with LAPD and asked the department to pick up Gonzalez. Using GPS coordinates from the video, LAPD found Gonzalez and picked him after he crashed into a power pole at the end of a short chase, according to Los Angeles' KABC-TV (ABC 7).

Gonzalez is wanted for murder, aggravated robbery and engaging in organized crime. According to DPD, Gonzalez, who was 17 at the time, shot and killed Horace Davis in August 2016 as Davis sat in the front seat of his car on Marfa Avenue. The department says it is also investigating Gonzalez for other crimes and is waiting to release more information.
