An 18-year-old man, already behind bars in Williamson County on an unrelated incident, is suspected of killing Carlos Fernandez early Monday morning in Kyle.
Michael Anthony Trejo of Kyle is wanted in Hays County on a murder charge after sheriff’s deputies found Fernandez, 23, dead at 147 Delray Drive in the Bluebonnet Estates mobile home park off of Bebee Lane in east Kyle.
A murder warrant was issued for Trejo Monday night.
Fernandez was found deceased after police were called out for a second time to the trailer home community in a span of three hours for reports of shots fired, city officials said in a statement Monday.
Kyle police questioned Fernandez a few hours before his death regarding a deadly conduct incident that resulted in the arrest of another man.
Police were first dispatched to the mobile home park at about 11 p.m. Sunday after first responders received a disturbance call for shots fired at the intersection of Fountain Grove Drive and Antelope Hills Drive, city officials said.
During that investigation, police detained and arrested Christopher Vicuna, 18, at about 12:35 a.m. Monday for allegedly having fired a weapon, officials said. Vicuna was charged with deadly conduct, a third-degree felony, according to Hays County Jail records. No injuries were reported in that incident.
After that scene was cleared, officers were called out to the Bluebonnet Estates again Monday morning, about an hour and half after Vicuna’s arrest, for a second report of shots fired.
Hays County Sheriff’s deputies assisted Kyle police with the second call out and found Fernandez deceased at the mobile home park. Officials said Fernandez was a witness in a deadly conduct disturbance that landed Vicuna in jail.
Trejo was arrested in Williamson County Monday on charges of striking highway landscape and for possession of a controlled substance. He posted a $3,500 bond for those charges. He remains in jail awaiting extradition to Hays County where he is wanted for Fernandez’s murder. Trejo is being held on $500,000 bail.
Vicuna, who was arrested in the first shooting incident remained in the Hays County Jail as of Monday night on $10,000 bail.
