Del Rio Police Arrest Two in Separate Mid-February Violent Incidents

Del Rio police arrested Guadalupe Buenrostro Jr. after officers responding to the 400 block of Far Hills Drive at about 3:23 a.m. on Feb. 11 encountered a female victim with visible facial injuries and a man barricaded inside a locked bedroom, according to police materials. Officers were told firearms were inside the bedroom, performed a safety sweep, and treated the scene as a barricade; after roughly 30 minutes Buenrostro “exited the bedroom with his hands raised.” He was transported to the Del Rio Police Department for processing and later remanded to a GEO Detention Facility pending magistration.

Police records show the woman contacted outside the Far Hills residence had “visible injuries to her face, including bumps, bruises, and cuts that appeared recent.” Officers reported Buenrostro initially refused multiple commands and did not comply with requests to speak with them before surrendering; law enforcement took him into custody without further incident.

In a separate incident police say occurred at approximately 3:06 a.m. on Feb. 15, officers responded to reports of gunfire on the 300 block of June Avenue. Witnesses identified one person as the shooter, and participants fled the scene in two separate vehicles. “Although several individuals were involved in the disturbance, witnesses identified one subject as the sole gunman,” the Del Rio Police Department said, and after contact with the suspect’s family the person identified only by surname — Rios — “voluntarily turned himself in to authorities without incident.” Rios was arrested at the Del Rio Police Department on Feb. 20, processed, and released to the custody of a GEO Correctional Facility pending magistration; police materials state, “This investigation remains ongoing. No additional information is available at this time.”

Also listed in police communications is the arrest of Christopher Perez, 40, after officers contacted a suspicious person in the parking lot of a business on the 500 block of Pecan Street at about 3:05 p.m. The department’s warrant inquiry revealed two outstanding arrest warrants issued by the Comal County Sheriff’s Office. The warrants were for Violation of Conditions of Probation - Aggravated Assault with a Deadly Weapon and Violation of Conditions of Probation - Assault Family/Household Member with Previous Convictions, and “The warrants were confirmed with the issuing agency.” Perez was placed under arrest, transported to the Del Rio Police Department for processing, and later released to the custody of a GEO Correctional Facility pending magistration.

All three cases share the same processing pattern in police materials: transport to the Del Rio Police Department for booking and transfer to a GEO-operated facility pending magistration. One police release lists the Perez encounter date as Feb. 20, 2025, a year that conflicts with the mid-February 2026 timeline and appears to be a typographical error in the public materials; the department has not published magistration or court dates in those notices. Investigations remain active for the June Avenue shooting and the domestic incidents, and formal filing of charges and case numbers have not been listed in the department’s published materials.
