Federal authorities said Gutierrez is a known member of the Latin Kings gang with a documented history of involvement in trafficking fentanyl and methamphetamine. DEA officials identified him as the individual seen in open-source videos removing the rifle from the FBI vehicle after it was left at the scene of unrest.
“Gutierrez is known at DEA as a violent criminal with a history involving fentanyl and methamphetamine drug trafficking and distribution,” Drug Enforcement Administration Omaha Field Division Special Agent in Charge Dustin Gillespie said.
“In support of this investigation, DEA identified him as the individual seen breaking into an FBI vehicle on January 14. The combined efforts of federal law enforcement agencies and the Violent Offender Task Force led to the swift arrest and removal of a Latin King member that instilled fear and pushed poisons into our communities,” Gillespie added.
