Narrative:

On Thursday, July 12, 2018, around 4:00 PM, members of the Pomona Police Department's Major Crimes Task Force (MCTF) and the Crime Impact Task Force (CITF) were partnered up, and working a gang suppression detail within the City of Pomona. Officers located two known Pomona gang members trespassing in a vacant residence.

Suspect Perez fled through an open window of the residence and began running through neighboring yards. With the assistance of the Pomona Police Air unit, Perez was apprehended by Officers. Officers later located a sawed off rifle that was discarded by Suspect Perez.

Suspect Salas was arrested on a parole violation and Suspect Perez was arrested on the above listed gun charges.
