Three people were arrested June 8 after they were accused of committing an aggravated robbery in Buda that involved a firearm and a baseball bat.
According to a Hays County press release, one of the suspects allegedly shot at and struck a vehicle of their victims as they attempted to flee the scene.
The Hays County Sheriff’s Office arrested Michael Anthony Llamas, 18, of Kyle, along with Cierrah Marie Reyes, 18 and Alecsandra Traian Uzer-Dima, 25, both of Buda.
The three were booked into the Hays County Jail June 8 on a charge of aggravated robbery, which is a first-degree felony. They were also booked on misdemeanor possession of marijuana charges.
Reyes was released on June 9 on $31,000 bond. Uzer-Dima and Llamas were released from jail on $27,500 bond on June 10.
A fourth person, a juvenile who was not identified, was released to parents pending further investigation.
According to the release, deputies were dispatched to the area of FM 2001 and Interstate 35 in Buda for a “disturbance in progress” involving weapons. Deputies responded and located the victim at the Hampton Inn along Cabela’s Drive in Buda.
The victim told deputies they went to an address in the 4400 block of Dacy Lane in Buda. It is unknown at this time why the victim went to the address or if they knew any of the suspects.
Four subjects approached the victim and demanded money. One of the suspects was armed with a handgun, while another had a baseball bat.
As the victim attempted to flee, the suspect armed with the handgun fired at the victim’s vehicle and struck it.
The victims that were shot at included two children, whose ages were one and two years old, according to the release. Neither of the victims were wounded in the attack.
Hays County Lt. Jeri Skrocki said in an emailed response that the Sheriff’s Office has no indication that the children were shot at specifically, and that it was “a shot at the vehicle.” It’s unknown where the bullet hit the victim’s vehicle.
Officers from the Buda Police Department aided the HCSO with a search of the area. They located the suspects’ vehicle, a white Ford Focus, at the Buda HEB, where HCSO deputies arrested them.
Skrocki said the case is still on-going. Anyone with information regarding this or any case may contact the Hays County Sheriff’s Office at 512-393-7896 and speak with the Criminal Investigations Division or you may contact the Hays County Crime Stoppers at 1-800-324-TIPS (8477).
