One of the robbers had a gun tucked into his waistband, according to a report called in to authorities, and had stolen a man’s watch.Deputies tried to detain Anthony Daniel Vargas while searching the housing complex, but Vargas ran and hid, officials said.
Investigators said they found a loaded semiautomatic .22-caliber pistol underneath Vargas’ body and that the gun had not been fired. The deputies were unable to find the thieves, Alfred said, and investigators do not think Vargas was involved in the robbery.Vargas was not involved in gangs or known to carry a gun, said Humberto Guizar, the attorney representing Vargas’ mother, Lisa. Vargas led Bible study groups and worked for a church warehouse, he said.
