HONDO, Texas – A 36-year-old man was arrested on Friday in connection with a shooting in Medina County that killed two people and left another wounded, according to the sheriff’s office.
Adam Hernandez was booked in the Medina County jail on multiple charges, including capital murder of multiple persons and aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, deputies stated.
The shooting happened around 12:40 a.m. on Friday in the 200 block of County Road 4636.
Deputies had responded to the scene for a report of suspicious activity and discovered three people with gunshot wounds, the sheriff’s office said.
A KSAT crew spoke with a nearby neighbor about the deadly incident.
The man, who asked to remain anonymous, told KSAT it was common to hear gunshots and chaos at the house where the shooting took place. However, once they saw a flood of deputies drawn with rifles overnight, they knew something was wrong.
“They shoot constantly,” the neighbor said. “So, for something to actually happen, I was like, ‘Oh wow’. Usually, nothing ever happens. Usually they have a bunch of people, and it’s always lively there.”
A 52-year-old man and a woman were pronounced dead at the scene. Deputies stated that a 59-year-old woman survived. She is currently being treated at a local hospital with unspecified injuries.
Through further investigation, deputies were able to take Hernandez into custody without further incident, according to the sheriff’s office.
The names of the two people killed will be released after the families are notified.
