Huntsville, Texas – A second suspect from an officer involved shooting at Bill Fick Ford is now in custody after being apprehended thanks to the work of a multi agency task force consisting of Houston PD, US Homeland Security Houston Gang Unit, US Marshals Gulf Coast Violent Offender Task Force, and the Texas Department of Public Safety.
Anthony Joshua Moya, age 25, was booked in the Walker county jail for an incident that occurred on September 27th at around 2:27 AM, when Huntsville officers responded to a report of suspicious activity at the Bill Fick Ford dealership, located at 737 Interstate 45.
The dealership’s monitored surveillance system picked up suspicious activity and police quickly responded. Officers upon arriving found two suspects stealing taillights off trucks in the lot.
According to one person we talked to, those type of taillights can cost up to $1,200 a piece, due to the anti collision sensor in them.
According to the Huntsville Police the suspects fled to their vehicle as officers approached. The officers attempted to detain them, when the fleeing driver steered the getaway car toward the officers who were on foot. At this point police say an officer “engaged the subjects”. Huntsville police state an officer was stuck by the suspect vehicle and only received minor injuries.
The suspects fled south bound on the Interstate 45 feeder road and ended up entering the Huntsville State Park and ultimately fled on foot into the woods.
The passenger Sergio Sanfilippo was quickly apprehended, but the alleged driver Anthony Joshua Moya fled into the woods.
Tracking K9’s from Montgomery County and TDCJ were dispatched to the scene, but were not able to locate the driver.
Moya and Sanfilippo will both face charges of aggravated assault on a peace officer, theft over $30,000, and evading arrest or detention. Moya remains in the Walker County Jail on a $130,000 bond.
