Buda Man Charged in Kyle Drive-By After Ballistics Link Seized Rifle

Investigators say forensic findings tie the Nov. 3 Kyle attack to an AR-style rifle seized from the 21-year-old.

Overview

  • Abraham Herrera, 21, was charged Tuesday with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon in the Nov. 3 shooting, according to the Hays County Sheriff's Office.
  • Court records show he remains in the Hays County Jail with bail set at $250,000 for the charge.
  • Investigators report a definitive match between shell casings from the scene and the AR-style rifle previously seized from Herrera.
  • Digital evidence provided by the Texas Rangers helped identify Herrera as the likely suspect in the Kyle case and a related November drive-by in Martindale.
  • Authorities say the Kyle shooting seriously injured a sleeping homeowner and appears to have been a random attack with no identified motive.
