Luna said the victim had her 2024 Lexus stolen at gunpoint and that two other victims were threatened at gunpoint and feared for their lives.

On Nov. 25, auto theft task force officers arrested Jariod Raphael Orozco on three counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and a count of aggravated robbery.

He remains held in the Carrizales-Rucker Detention Center on a total of $425,000 in bonds.

However, the prime suspect, Pedro Antonio Sosa, remains at large. Luna said investigators believe he is likely hiding with family or friends in Matamoros.

Police are urging anyone with information on his whereabouts to come forward.
