(Stockdale) — A police pursuit in nearby Stockdale just south of Seguin, resulted in the arrest of a man wanted in connection with a deadly shooting at the Kickapoo Lucky Eagle Casino in Eagle Pass.
The incident began at about 7:43 a.m. Sunday, when the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) attempted a traffic stop at the Circle K in Stockdale. During the pursuit, troopers discharged their firearms at the suspect’s vehicle near the convenience store. Despite the damage, the driver fled onto SH 123 and later eastbound onto FM 1347, with Wilson County Sheriff’s deputies joining DPS troopers in the chase.
The suspect, identified as Keryan Jones, 34, was taken into custody in the 10000 block of FM 1347 after officers used a PIT maneuver to disable his vehicle and deployed a taser. Officials say a weapon was recovered at the scene, and authorities confirmed no injuries to troopers.
The Eagle Pass Police Department later announced Jones’ capture in connection with the casino shooting, crediting coordinated efforts between DPS, Wilson County deputies, and other agencies. Police say vehicle tracking technology and license plate recognition systems played a key role in locating the suspect.
Jones is being held in Stockdale roughly 180 miles from the casino. Eagle Pass police confirmed that the Kickapoo Traditional Tribe of Texas Police Department is coordinating his extradition to Maverick County.
