A seventh suspect was arrested today in the brutal gang rape of a 15-year-old girl outside her homecoming dance last month.
Gang Rape Victim Is Church-Going Honor Student
Salvador Rodriguez, 21 and Manuel Ortega, 19, and Jose Carlos Montano, 18, are three of the six suspects who have so far been arrested by Richmond, Calif., police in connection to last weekend’s gang rape of a 15-year-old girl.

A 21-year-old man was picked up by heavily armed police at Richmond, Calif., home early today, according to Richmond Police Lt. Mark Gagan. A special tactical team was used to apprehend the suspect, according to Gagan, because the “brutality and severity of the crime” made him a “high risk suspect.” He surrendered without incident.

The suspect, whose name has not yet been released, is being held in lieu of $1.2 million bail and is being interrogated by police.

According to Gagan, the individual’s arrest warrant alleges rape in concert, sexual battery and penetration with a foreign object in concert.

“You can tell by the number of felonies and how high his bail is that we believe that this individual played a significant role in the rape,” Gagan told ABCNews.com.

Richmond Police have now arrested seven people in connection with the assault, but have only six in custody.

Salvador Rodriquez, 21, was released from custody late last week due to “insufficient evidence,” according to Gagan.

Even with the latest arrest, Gagan said that still more suspects are being sought out in connection to the case.

“This case is far from over,” said Gagan. “We are still waiting for the analysis of the DNA evidence which takes several weeks.”

The parents of the 15-year-old California girl who was sexually assaulted by as many as 10 men and teens outside a high school homecoming dance Oct. 24 released a statement this weekend asking that the incident provoke change at the school.

“Please do not respond to this tragic event by promoting hatred or by causing more pain,” said the statement from the victim’s parents, read by Rev. Jim Wheeler of the First Presbyterian Church in Richmond, Calif.
