Raymond P. Corona Jr., a member of the West Sacramento street gang known as the Broderick Boys, was arrested Tuesday, two months after he jumped bail in the midst of his trial for a Jan. 1, 2003, stabbing.
Corona, 31, was subsequently convicted in absentia by a Yolo Superior Court jury of 19 felony counts and sentenced to 117 years in prison.
A press release from the Yolo County District Attorney's Office described him as "a dangerous, violent predator with deep gang connections."
Although wanted fliers warned that Corona was "possibly armed and dangerous," he gave up without a struggle after members of a multiagency task force tracked him to an Elk Grove apartment complex, FBI agent Karen Ernst said.
Joining the FBI in Corona's capture were police officers from Sacramento, Elk Grove, West Sacramento and the Yolo County District Attorney's Office.
Ernst said Corona had been sought by the Safe Streets Task Force on a warrant for unlawful flight to avoid prosecution. After his arrest, he was booked into the Sacramento County jail.
The gang-related stabbing for which Corona was convicted occurred after he and several others were asked to leave a New Year's Eve party on Maple Street, just north of West Capitol Avenue.
Two stabbing victims were left permanently disfigured, the DA's press release said. Three other suspects in the attack remain at large.
Corona had been free on $250,000 bail when he disappeared after the first day of his trial, after the victims identified him in the courtroom of Judge Michael Sweet.
When Corona failed to appear the next day, the judge continued the trial, according to the District Attorney's Office.
According to police, he is an admitted member of the Nuestra Familia prison gang.
The Broderick Boys, which police say has 350 documented members, originated in the Broderick neighborhood of West Sacramento and controls much of the community's drug trafficking, according to law enforcement sources.
