Alleged gang members sentenced to prison for high-speed chase

RANCHO CUCAMONGA -- Two alleged Pomona gang members were sentenced to state prison today after pleading guilty to charges filed following a car chase in Ontario that ended in an officer-involved shooting.

Alfredo Monge, 19, was sentenced to two years and eight months in prison after pleading guilty to evading a peace officer with wanton disregard for safety, as well as violating his probation, said Deputy District Attorney Tom Colclough.

Alexandro Gomez, 21, was sentenced to 16 months in prison after pleading guilty to possessing a gun as a felon, Colclough said.

Monge was the driver of the car and Gomez was a passenger during a July 16 high-speed chase that ended in a neighborhood southwest of Vineyard Avenue and Fourth Street.

A third man with the group, 20-year-old Martin Chavez, was shot twice by police after he allegedly brandished a firearm.

He was hospitalized in critical condition following the incident, and has been unable to appear in court for his arraignment hearing because of his medical issues, Colclough said.
