On August 13, 2023, Raul Gonzalez, aged 52, was fatally shot in the facial area on Glenwood Road near San Jose Road in the Green Valley Farms area east of San Benito, Texas.
Pedro Rodriguez, the alleged shooter, claimed he acted in self-defense and stated he did not know Gonzalez. However, upon investigation, Cameron County Sheriff's deputies found inconsistencies between Rodriguez's account and the crime scene evidence, leading them to doubt his self-defense claim.
Consequently, Rodriguez was arrested and charged with murder. He is currently held at the Carrizalez-Rucker Detention Center in Olmito, Texas.
The obituary for Raul Gonzalez, published on August 23, 2023, in the Brownsville Herald, indicates that he passed away in San Benito, Texas. The funeral arrangements were managed by Thomae-Garza Funeral Home, which sought information regarding his next of kin.
The case remains under investigation as authorities continue to examine the circumstances surrounding Gonzalez's death. Further details may emerge as the legal process unfolds.
