Reynaldo Garcia Silva, Raymond Gulla, Travis Longhitano This weekly WINK News segment features fugitives from justice right here in Southwest Florida. This is your chance to help out the community and give the tip that gets these people off the street. These suspects need to be found – and you can help. If you have seen them, reach out to Crime Stoppers or your local law enforcement. Call 1-800-780-TIPS (8477). Here are three suspects wanted by Southwest Florida Crime Stoppers. Reynaldo Garcia Silva Reynaldo Garcia Silva (DOB 12/19/81) – He is wanted in Lee County on a felony arrest warrant revoking his pretrial supervision for leaving the scene of a crash with personal injury, 2 counts of DUI with personal/property damage, and resisting officers. This all stems from a crash he is accused of causing in November, coming off the I-75 ramp at Bonita Beach Road. When he hit Bonita Beach Road, he drove the wrong way on the street and struck two vehicles. When he got out of his car, he immediately removed his license plate and attempted to run away, not even thinking about rendering aid to the victims. LCSO arrived quickly and took Garcia Silva into custody. Deputies say he was nearly twice the legal limit, despite the fact that he told deputies that he only had “a little bit” to drink. He is 5’7”, 170 pounds and has been on the run since mid-March. We suspect he is in either south Lee County or Naples. Raymond Gulla [CAPTURED] Raymond Gulla (DOB 5/29/87) –He has a felony VOP in Lee County for the possession of a controlled substance and paraphernalia. This warrant stems from an incident where he was found in a trailer with an array of drugs, including meth and fentanyl. Deputies say the needles he was using to shoot up were actually wrapped up in paperwork that he had just received from a court hearing from a different arrest. He currently has 13 bookings for other charges including resisting, contempt, burglary and violation of a domestic violence restraining order. He is accused of having white supremacist gang affiliations with lots of tattoos: South Boy on his right wrist, a swastika on his right ankle, Dirty Florida on his left wrist and Raymond on his neck. He is 5’9”, 190 pounds, and was last known to be living in North Fort Myers. Travis Longhitano Travis Longhitano (DOB 7/1/95) – He has multiple warrants in Lee County for violating probation for battery on a law enforcement officer, resisting officers with violence, the possession of cocaine and SUI causing personal/property damage. The original incident involved him running a red light and getting pulled over. After the deputy walked up to Travis’ car, he sped off, clipping the deputy in the process. He eventually crashed into a building. At the hospital, he said he had no recollection of what happened other than being at a bowling alley, and then the ER. Just last week, he violated terms of his probation. He has 13 previous bookings to his name, mostly for drug possession and grand theft auto. He is 5’10”, 170 pounds and is likely living in either south Lee County or North Naples. If you have a tip on the whereabouts of any of these wanted suspects contact Southwest Florida Crime Stoppers. All callers will remain anonymous and will be eligible for a cash reward of up to $3,000.
