Man On The Run For Drug Deal Double Murder Caught for Rape of Girl

August 26, 2012 Updated Aug 26, 2012 at 2:45 PM PDT

A Pennsylvania man on the run after shooting dead two young brothers during a drug deal has been arrested for raping a 13-year-old girl.

John J. Gonce, 28, of Secane, was charged with killing Christopher Malcolm, 17, and Rohan Bennett, 12, in Philadelphia on July 24 but evaded police and convinced his cousin to let him hide out at her Baltimore, Maryland, home.

Three days later he raped a 13-year-old girl and went on to sexually assault her on another two occasions, police said.

Gonce was arrested outside the cousin's home on August 7, after initially bolting from police and hiding in a rubbish bin.

The man was also wanted for a home invasion, where he tied up the owner of the apartment he broke into with electrical cord and threatened him as he searched for cash.

Baltimore County police charged Gonce with three counts of second-degree rape and three of second-degree sexual assault.

'He raped and sexually assaulted this girl on three separate occasions,' police spokesman Elise Armacost told The Philadelphia Inquirer.

He is being held without bail at the Baltimore County Detention Center in Towson.
