Overview

  • The Daily Mail reported, citing multiple unnamed sources, that Regina Santos-Aviles had an alleged romantic relationship with Rep. Tony Gonzales.
  • A spokesman for Gonzales, in comments to the Daily Mail, declined to deny the allegation and criticized efforts to politicize her death.
  • Uvalde police say preliminary findings show Santos-Aviles was alone when the backyard fire began and that they have no information indicating another person’s involvement.
  • Home surveillance video reportedly captured her pouring gasoline on herself, and investigators sent the footage to the Texas Department of Public Safety crime lab for analysis.
  • The Uvalde Police Department has sought to keep the 911 call, surveillance video, and police reports sealed, and Times Now noted the affair claim has not been independently verified by U.S. outlets.
