SAN MARCOS, Texas (KXAN) — Police made arrests in connection with one of seven reported shootings during the weekend in San Marcos.
No injuries were reported as a result of the incidents, but San Marcos police arrested two brothers connected to a shooting at The Cedars of San Marcos apartment complex early Sunday morning.
Tyrian Kier Brown, 23 of Glenn Heights, Texas, and Broderick Taray Mathis 27, were arrested following a reported altercation between the two. Police say the brothers were fighting when Brown pulled out a .380 caliber pistol and fired twice into the air. He then hid the gun under a car then picked up a shell casing, police say.
Mathis then punched the window out of a nearby SUV, police say.
Brown was charged with deadly conduct and tampering with evidence while Mathis was charged with assault with family violence and criminal mischief, police say. Brown posted a $10,000 bond and Mathis was released on his own recognizance, police say.
That was just one report of shots fired that happened in an 8-hour span Saturday into Sunday, police say, and they need people to come forward with information on the other six incidents.
Police say it’s apparently a “new fad” for partygoers in San Marcos to randomly shoot guns at parties. Police say it’s a third-degree felony to knowingly shoot a gun at or in the direction of a person, home, building or vehicle that’s occupied.
