A suspected member of the violent MS-13 gang evaded capture for several months after a shootout last year with police and the FBI in Houston, crossing into his native Honduras where authorities accused him of the Christmas Day decapitations of his former in-laws.
On Tuesday, Albin Adalin Zelaya-Zelaya, 26, was being held on assault and immigration charges in the Harris County Jail after he and five others were arrested early Saturday at an apartment in the 10100 block of S. Gessner.
Also taken into custody were Zelaya-Zelaya's brother, Pablo Romero, 31; Miguel Estrada, 21; Johnny Fernandez, 27; Marlin Turcios, 20; and Marcos Caldron, 24.
They were charged with evading arrest and also face federal immigration charges, police said.
Zelaya-Zelaya, also known as Flaco, had taken part in the Sept. 22 attempted holdup of illegal immigrants at a motel in the 8900 block of the Gulf Freeway, investigators said.
"They never actually got to rob them," said Shauna Dunlap, with the Houston FBI office. "We prevented the robberies before they could take place."
One FBI agent was wounded in the shootout.
Although five people were taken into custody after the botched holdup, Zelaya-Zelaya managed to escape.
