The Lubbock Texas Anti-Gang Center identified and arrested suspects accused of being involved in a drive-by shooting in May in central Lubbock.

According to TAG, investigators were able to identify 27-year-old Joedaniel Herrero and 30-year-old Mark Escobedo as members of the Bandidos Outlaw Motorcycle Gang.

TAG was able to execute a search warrant on May 23 for the arrests of Herrero and Escobedo for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and the seizure of a stolen firearm, drug, and gang evidence.

A second warrant was executed on May 30 in the 5200 block of 71st Street for the search and seizure related to the drive-by shooting.

"Area gangs, including outlaw motorcycle gangs, pose a threat to the community when they engage in criminal activity on the streets and in public places, such as the 2015 Twin Peaks shooting in Waco, the November 2020 shooting at 50th Street Caboose in Lubbock, and the recent shooting over the weekend in Red River, New Mexico," reads a statement from TAG.
