The manhunt has ended. 17-year-old Eusebio Montoya is now in custody after Lee County Sheriff’s deputies say he turned himself in.
The Lee County Sheriff’s Office shared that Montoya turned himself in on Saturday night with a video of them escorting him to the Lee County Jail.
Montoya is charged with 1st Degree Attempted Murder of a Law Enforcement Officer, Aggravated Assault with a Deadly Weapon, and Minor in Possession of a Firearm.
“We used all available resources in the manhunt and would have pursued him to the end of the earth. You don’t threaten the lives of residents, shoot at a civilian, and one of my family members, and walk away,” stated Sheriff Carmine Marceno in a post on Facebook.
During Montoya’s first court appearance on Sunday, the judge ordered that he be held in secure detention for 21 days. Montoya will appear in front of the Judge again on Monday. His arraignment is set for April 11.
