just as a follow up warning to the police who are looking for him. he is a known gang member with a felony record and is most likely armed. TAKE NO CHANCES WITH YOUR OR THE PUBLIC'S LIVES. IF HE DOESN'T IMMEDIATELY OBEY YOUR ORDERS TO SURRENDER, SHOOT FIRST AND ASK WHY HE DIDN'T LATER. YOU WANT TO GO HOME TONIGHT DON'T YOU?
