Houston police chase, catch naked gunman

HOUSTON—A gunman who prompted an evacuation at the Mercer Arboretum Saturday was arrested naked after leading cops on a wild chase.

The whole thing started when Precinct 4 deputies responded to a call about a domestic disturbance near the park.

When they arrived, they saw Raphael Jones, 19, in the street with a gun.

Jones was a parolee, and he had removed his ankle bracelet.

He ran from police, hopping fences and tearing through backyards in an attempt to lose them.

At one point, he shot at the deputies, but no one was hit.

When Jones climbed over the fence into the Arboretum, deputies evacuated the area and surrounded the park.

Once in the park, Jones robbed a dad and his kids of their cell phone and car keys and later carjacked a pregnant woman.

Deputies pursued Jones in the stolen car until he finally stopped and exited the vehicle with no clothes on.

It was unclear why he had removed them.

Jones is reportedly wanted in Louisiana for aggravated assault and kidnapping.

Maybe he stripped naked cause it's easier for the cops to see you are unarmed,versus i thought he was reaching in his pants fer a gun that's why we shot him 52 times,or he as on some drugs that had his thought process outta whack
