Five violent gang members are off the streets following a Thursday afternoon raid at a home inside a north McAllen neighborhood.
It all happened at a home on the 400 block of Primrose Avenue just after 5:30 p.m. Thursday.
Investigators told Action 4 News that a SWAT team went in to arrest a man wanted for a warrant out of San Juan involving a drive by shooting.
The drive-by shooting in san juan that happened in June occurred near Iowa and Sam Houston.
No one was injured, the shooting was directed at a rival gang according to the San Juan Police chief.
San Juan police told Action 4 News that investigators were looking a high-ranking member of the Texas Chicano Brotherhood gang.
Police said the man arrested was wanted for committing violent crimes in several cities across the Rio Grande Valley.
Investigators reported that another gang member inside the home was arrested while three others were detained and turned over to another law enforcement agency.
Crime scene investigators with the McAllen Police Department were also at the scene.
A member of the same gang is wanted for a murder in McAllen where a man's body was found inside a burned pickup truck.
Authorities are not releasing the identities of the gang members at this time but they are expected to face a judge on Friday.
