THE LONE STAR FUGITIVE TASK FORCE ARRESTS TERRENCE CHASE CRAFT

Late Wednesday evening (July 25, 2007), the Lone Star Fugitive Task Force, led by the United States Marshals Service in the Western District of Texas, arrested Terrence Chase Craft. Craft committed the felony offenses of capital murder and attempted murder in San Antonio on July 17, 2007.

On Tuesday July 24, 2007 the San Antonio Police Department (SAPD)Gang Unit requested the assistance of the Lone Star Fugitive Task Force in locating and arresting Craft. Craft and two companions were arguing with two males in front of an apartment in the 4800 block of Ray Bon. Several witnesses stated that Craft and his companions pulled out guns and began shooting at the two males. The victims tried to escape the rain of bullets by running into the apartment. Craft and his companions continued to shoot through the door and window of the apartment killing both Raishun Slack and her unborn child. Raishun was four months pregnant at the time of her death.

Task Force Members began the hunt for Craft on Tuesday evening developing information that Craft was in the northeast area of San Antonio. Task Force Members canvassed the area Wednesday evening locating Craft in a residence on Midcrown. Craft was arrested without incident by the Task Force Members and the SAPD Gang Unit.

United States Marshal for the Western District of Texas LaFayette Collins said, “The Lone Star Fugitive Task Force and its member agencies are dedicated to apprehending individuals who choose to commit acts of violence especially those who harm innocent people."
