GUADALUPE COUNTY, Texas – Authorities said a teenager, who they believe is responsible for shooting two people earlier this month in Schertz, is now in custody.
According to a Friday news release, Schertz police identified Gabriel Alvarado, 17, as the suspect connected to a shooting in the 2100 block of Redbud Way on March 4.

Schertz officers responded to the scene just before 12:30 a.m., where they found two 17-year-olds with apparent gunshot wounds.
The victims were later taken to a San Antonio hospital for further treatment. One of them was hospitalized in “serious condition,” according to a March 4 Schertz Police Department news release.
A Schertz police spokesperson told KSAT on Friday both victims have since been released from the hospital.
Police also said at least one stray bullet struck a nearby home. A home’s Ring camera captured police asking a homeowner for permission to search after a bullet entered the residence.
The homeowner, who declined to speak to KSAT earlier this month, said the bullet went into her daughter’s bedroom but was stopped by a treadmill. No one inside the home was injured.
According to Guadalupe County Jail records, Alvarado is facing an aggravated assault with a deadly weapon charge connected to the March 4 shooting.
A county judge set his bond for the charge at $100,000, but it is not the only active Guadalupe County charge on Alvarado’s record. Records also show Alvarado is facing a drug possession charge, which is worth another $5,000 bond.
Additionally, Bexar County court records indicate Alvarado has been charged with aggravated robbery for a separate case on July 15, 2025. A Bexar County judge set his bond on that charge at $75,000.
