Huntsville police have captured one of America's Most Wanted.
Officers arrested 22-year-old Gilberto Angel Vargas, a dangerous member of a notorious Chicago street gang called the "Spanish Cobras," at the Kroger off Oakwood Avenue.
According to police, Vargas shot an innocent man to death in June of 2009 for no reason other than that he wrongly targeted the man as a rival gang member.

Police officers got a tip that Vargas was in the area and they found him at a house in Huntsville. Officers allowed Vargas to leave the residence and pulled him over at the grocery store.
Vargas tried to run from police, but officers used a stun gun and pepper spray to stop Vargas. He continued to resist arrest and gave two officers minor injuries.
"He's real dangerous, as you can see, he didn't mind fighting law enforcement. He was wanted for murder. He didn't have anything to lose. He was a member of a gang that is known to be very violent, and he's just one of those violent criminals. He wouldn't be on America's Most Wanted if he wasn't," said Sgt. Mark Roberts with the Huntsville Police Department.
Two women were with Vargas when he was arrested. Officers believe that Vargas was moving the women to California in a U-HAUL.
We're told officers at the scene found a hand gun, a loaded shot gun, and rifle in the vehicle. The U.S. Marshals are going to take the fugitive.
