COPS in San Antonio, Texas have nabbed the thug they say murdered one of their own. On Sunday afternoon, Mark Anthony Gonzales, 41, was arrested at his home in connection with the murder of Sgt. Kenneth Vann. On May 28, Vann was murdered in cold blood as he sat at a traffic light. The triggerman came up beside him and blasted away. Vann didn't even have time to draw his weapon.The 48-year-old veteran's slaying stunned San Antonio as it appeared to be for no good reason
and a whopping $127,000 in reward money was raised.
Cops had been looking for the driver of a 2009 or later model royal blue crew cab Ford F150. Gonzales was at home with his wife and children when he was arrested. Investigators said anonymous tipster closed the deal. A similar weapon used to kill Vann was found in the home.
Hundreds turned out for the memorial service of the deceased deputy, who had been on the force for 25 years. Vann was buried Friday at the cemetery at St. Joseph Catholic Church in Spring Branch.
Vann left behind three children and his wife, Yvonne, who is also a sergeant with the Bexar County Sheriff's Office.
Yvonne said last night: “I know he'll get the death penalty, because that's what it calls for, and he'll get the death penalty as much as my husband did.”
