Texas Police Officer Arrested at Mexican Border in Triple Homicide Investigation
Just the facts
Investigators stated that the shooting occurred during a custody dispute over Eberle's son, resulting in the deaths of 44-year-old Ana Laura, 22-year-old Laura Jaquelín, and 44-year-old Emanuel. The child's 26-year-old mother sustained a gunshot wound to the head and remains hospitalized in critical condition. Mexican law enforcement tracked Eberle's Chevrolet Silverado to the border crossing across from Eagle Pass, Texas, where he was intercepted without harm to the child. The three-year-old boy was transferred to Coahuila child welfare officials, and Eberle was remanded to the Saltillo men's penitentiary. Eberle previously served as a police officer and deputy constable in multiple Texas municipalities, including Santa Anna, Somerset, and Bexar County.
Why this is news
Mexican law enforcement authorities arrested 35-year-old reserve Texas police officer Chad Eberle at the Piedras Negras international bridge while he attempted to re-enter Texas with his three-year-old son. The arrest was executed on a Coahuila state warrant charging Eberle with femicide and qualified homicide following a deadly shooting in Saltillo, Mexico.
