 San
Antonio, TX – Adrian Casares, 20, was arrested last night by the Lone
Star Fugitive Task Force in San Antonio without incident. Arrest warrants
were sought by the Lancaster County Sheriff’s Office in Nebraska, where it
is alleged that Casares committed terroristic threats and the use of a
firearm to commit a felony.
On January 11, 2013, the Lone Star Fugitive Task Force received information
that Casares along with his girlfriend, Tiffany Zerley, 26, had fled
Nebraska in a Ford Explorer and were hiding out in a residence in San
Antonio. Last night, Task force officers determined that Casares and Zerley
were hiding out in a house located in the 100 block of Surrey Avenue. Task
force officers initiated surveillance and subsequently located the Ford
Explorer. Task force officers entered the residence where Casares and Zerley
were immediately arrested. Task force officers later discovered that Zerley
had an outstanding warrant for allegedly committing larceny.
Casares and Zerley are currently being held in Bexar County Jail without
bond.
On December 30, 2012, Casares and Miguel Castillo, 23, got into a verbal
argument with Tyler Schoenrock, 26, in an apartment located in Lincoln,
Nebraska. Casares allegedly pulled a gun and threatened Schoenrock for being
a “snitch”. According to court documents, Casares and Castillo ordered
Schoenrock into a vehicle, drove Schoenrock to a rural area in Lancaster
County, ordered Schoenrock out of the vehicle, and shot him dead. Castillo
was arrested a few days after the murder, but Casares went on the run and
was a fugitive until he was arrested last night.
Casares is a known member of the "East Side Locos" gang with an extensive
criminal history to include assault and possession of narcotics.
Robert R. Almonte, United States Marshal for the Western District of Texas,
states, “I am thankful and proud of the men and women responsible for
arresting and putting these men behind bars, but with the same heart I am
saddened that a parent has lost a son and a son has lost a father.”
