Motorcycle stolen after post on Facebook marketplace
SUGAR LAND – When Sunny Easen decided to part ways with his Suzuki motorcycle, he never imagined that putting it for sale on Facebook Marketplace would leave him feeling violated.
“You can’t trust anybody these days,” he said.
Easen said the person who contacted him to buy his motorcycle for $8,500, claimed to be a colonel in the U.S. military.
Easen said he exchanged phone numbers with the man before meeting up with him in a public place in Sugar Land.
“The guy was ex-military. He had a military uniform on. He had a nice profile. I was thinking like, ‘Okay, this guy belongs to a biker club and was part of the U.S. military and served the United States. Why not trust that kind of guy to test the bike around the corner?’” Easen said.

FORT BEND COUNTY, Texas - Two people have been arrested and charged in connection with the death of a man found with a gunshot wound in Cinco Ranch.
According to the Fort Bend County Sheriff’s Office, a month-long investigation led to the arrest of Gabriela Estefany Cruz-Pineda, 19, and Marcos Noe Cortez-Zetino, 19, who are from Houston and are El Salvadorian Nationals, were charged.
Authorities were called out to the intersection of Westheimer Parkway and Fall Branch around 1:30 a.m. on June 20 in reference to an injured man lying in the roadway. The man had sustained a gunshot wound and had been thrown from a moving vehicle traveling on Westheimer Parkway.
The Fort Bend County Sheriffâs Office said the body found Monday morning in Richmond has been identified as that of 41-year-old Allison Kempe, who had been reported missing last week.
Police said preliminary findings indicate that Kempe, who was found inside her car in Richmondâs Jones Creek, died as the result of accidental drowning.
FBCSO said Kempe had last been seen July 9 exiting a restaurant in the 6300 block of FM 1463 in Katy. She was thought to be returning to her Richmond-area home near FM 359 and FM 723, according to police. Investigators noticed the vehicle when the water levels in Jones Creek receded after heavy rains, according to the sheriffâs office.
Even aside from the specter of a Fort Bend County investigation, the owner has already been accused in an elaborate, multi-million dollar fraud scheme involving the Katy business, according to federal charging documents.
Federal law enforcement on June 29 arrested Santiago Mora, of Harris County, in Miami in connection to federal charges, according to the Fort Bend County Sheriffâs Office.
Itâs not yet clear specifically what those unrelated charges are, but Mora is facing at least several federal charges in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas, including wire fraud and aggravated identity theft, according to court records.
