A Texas murder suspect bragged about his extensive weapons collection over Instagram Live Tuesday, inadvertently leading police directly to him for his arrest.

Christopher Ricardo Gonzalez, an 18-year-old fugitive on a Texas most wanted list, was apprehended after bragging about his weapons, abc7 reported. “Little Chris,” as he is known by members of the infamous Bloods gang, is allegedly involved with home invasions in Dallas spanning October 2016 to February 2017, as well as homicide, robbery and drugs, CBS Los Angeles reported.

After being alerted to Gonzalez’s Instagram video, Dallas Police worked with the Los Angeles Police to use GPS coordinates from the video signal to track down his location.

Gonzalez took off in a black rented SUV, spurring a two-mile car chase with the police until he crashed into a power pole and ran off into the night with a second suspect. Police took both men into custody around 2 a.m. and sent them to a hospital to be treated for bites from police dogs.
