October 24, 2022 – Outstanding police work by Central Precinct officers led to Sunday night’s arrest of Ladarrius Woodard, 14, and Jaydan Ontiveros, 16, for allegedly robbing two women who were walking toward the pedestrian bridge from the eastside on their way downtown.
The suspects, described as two young males wearing face coverings, were sitting on the stairs leading up to the bridge. As the women approached them around 8:30 p.m., they jumped up and demanded their belongings at gunpoint, including keys to their vehicle. The suspects drove off in the victims’ 2018 black Chevrolet Camaro parked in a nearby lot.
Central Precinct officers located the Camaro near the James Cayce public housing development. Woodard and Ontiveros bailed from the car. They were quickly apprehended. A handgun, stolen from an SUV on Doubletree Lane in August, was recovered. Both refused to speak to detectives.
Woodard and Ontiveros are each charged in Juvenile Court with robbery/carjacking.
