1 dead, 3 injured after multiple shootings near Texas State University, San Marcos police say

SAN MARCOS, Texas – One person is dead and three others are injured after multiple overnight shootings near the Texas State University campus, according to San Marcos police.

Around 10 p.m. Saturday, police responded to multiple gunshots near Kissing Alley on Hopkins Street along The Square, across from the historic Hays Country Courthouse.

Police said three people were shot and taken to area hospitals, and one later died.

Police are looking for two males wanted in connection with the shooting. One was wearing a black hoodie with white letters, dark pants and dark shoes. The other was wearing a two-tone black and light gray jacket, dark pants and a beanie.

They possibly left the area driving a four-door silver or gray Audi A3, police said.

Anyone with pictures, video or information about the people wanted in connection with the shooting are urged to contact San Marcos police at 512-753-2108.

At 1:15 a.m. Sunday, police Chief Stan Standridge ordered all downtown bars to close due to the shooting.

Officers also responded to a second shooting around 1:25 a.m. Sunday, before the daylight saving time change. Multiple people called police to report a fight that turned into a shooting at The Outpost apartment complex in the 1600 block of Post Road.

When officers arrived at the complex, they found shell casings and “a large amount of blood” near the pool, police said.

One person was injured and was taken to a hospital by friends before officers arrived. No one has been arrested in connection with the shooting as of Sunday afternoon.

The complex is about two miles away from where the first shooting happened. Police said the shootings were unrelated.

Around 1:50 a.m. Sunday, after the daylight saving time change, officers responded to a third shooting.

Police said officers were leaving the Hopkins Street area, where the first shooting took place, when multiple gunshots were fired on North LBJ Drive.

Officers chased and arrested Eliezer Johnson Hernandez, 20. Police said it’s unclear if anyone was hit by the gunfire but said the third shooting was unrelated to the earlier shootings.
