Search For Suspected Shooter Continues
Brownsville police are asking their counterparts in Matamoros to keep an eye out for a man suspected of shooting his ex-girlfriend late last week. Investigators believe 25-year-old Victor Manuel Hernandez fled to Matamoros where he has family, after opening fire on 21-year-old Jasmine Reyes. Police say Hernandez was having a hard time accepting their breakup, and confronted Reyes outside her Keith Lane home last Friday afternoon. Reyes was rushed to the hospital in critical condition, but family members say she is improving every day. Meanwhile, police say Hernandez is not your typical shooting suspect. He had recently graduated from U-T-B with a degree in criminal justice and was pursuing a master's degree.
