YouTube Description
as posted by the channelJason Clark with the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ) says it happened in Atascosa County around 10:30 p.m., where officials encountered a truck that appears to match the description. Tire spikes were used to disable the vehicle and crashed into a tree. The driver, later confirmed to be Lopez, was shot and taken into custody, where he reportedly succumbed to his injuries.
"I would say this is a tragedy that you had five individuals, who lost their lives," he said. "I am thankful [though], that tonight, Gonzalo Lopez is unable to harm anyone else."
According to the TDCJ, Lopez was serving a life sentence for capital murder before escaping on May 12 when he was being transported from the Hughes Unit in Gatesville to the Estelle Unit in Huntsville for a medical appointment.
Several law enforcement agencies were involved in the hunt, including the Office of Inspector General (OIG), and after a week-long search, authorities said they concluded "an exhaustive ground and air search in Leon County," but the search was entering a new phase.
