Shots fired in the area of Caesar and 7th - Kingsville
Officers responded to a call of shots fired at the south east corner house at the intersection of Caesar and 7th in Kingsville.
Press Release
KINGSVILLE POLICE DEPARTMENT
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Saturday, June 7, 2020 4:11 a.m.
Officers responded to a call of shots fired at the south east corner house at the intersection of Caesar and 7th. A second call was received that Eli De La Garza had shot a male. Officers arrived in the area and found the gunshot victim just east of the residence on Caesar. He had a gun shot to his upper leg. An officer applied a tourniquet just above the wound to stop the bleeding. Kingsville Fire Department EMS personnel arrived shortly thereafter and transported the male to Spohn Kleberg Memorial Hospital.
The victim stated that he had been shot by Eli De La Garza and that Eli was in the house in the 300 blk. of E. Caesar. Officers secured the perimeter and attempted to make contact at the location with the suspect as well as by cell phone with anyone in the residence. Administration and Command staff were contacted in regards to the incident. Contact was made with subjects in the residence and they were asked to bring De La Garza out from the residence. (Photo of De La Garza shown.) The female who was receiving the phone calls was so intoxicated that she was unaware of the shooting that had taken place.
After several hours of negotiations, and the breaching of three doors to the residence, a 19-year-old female, 45-year-old female, a juvenile male and Eli De La Garza came out of the residence from the doorway facing north onto Caesar. Mr. De La Garza was placed under arrest without incident. Mr. De La Garza is currently awaiting interview in the Kingsville Police Department.
The victim after being transported to Spohn Kleberg Memorial was stabilized and transported to Spohn Shoreline in Corpus Christi, Texas. The victim is being treated for the injury and will be released later today.
Investigators are still on scene collecting evidence with this ongoing case.
