On June 2, Memorial Villages officers attempted to pull over a vehicle lacking tail lights. The driver sped away, and despite spotting the vehicle a second time, officers did not activate pursuit due to department policy. The driver then ran several red lights on Westheimer Road, collided with multiple vehicles near Gessner, and continued eastbound. At Fondren and Westheimer, he crashed into another car, struck a pole or building, and his car burst into flames. Officers attempted to extinguish the fire, but paramedics pronounced him dead at the scene. Multiple occupants in other vehicles were hospitalized with non-life-threatening injuries. Police claim that they called off the chase just before the crash.

On June 1, 2025, Cherokee County Sheriff’s deputies responded to a domestic violence call at a residence on Still Lake Drive. Outside, they located a woman suffering from multiple stab wounds. She was treated on scene and transported to Wellstar Kennestone Hospital in serious condition. A man remained inside the residence, refused to exit, and was reported to be armed. The Cherokee Multi-Agency SWAT team was activated, bringing a militarized multi-jurisdictional force to the scene.
Officers established a containment perimeter with armed positions and armored vehicles for cover. Negotiators attempted to establish contact for several hours using loudspeakers, while tactical units staged for a potential forced entry. After repeated attempts to secure surrender failed, SWAT escalated by deploying chemical irritants into the home capable of causing severe respiratory distress, intense burning of eyes and skin, and forced disorientation. The irritants were delivered to flush the man out and break resistance.
When no response was observed, SWAT deployed a camera-equipped drone into the residence to conduct an interior search under armed cover. The drone relayed live video to the command post, revealing the man inside with an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound. Tactical officers entered to confirm the scene was secure. No body-worn camera or drone footage has been publicly released. The incident remains under review, and the man’s identity has not been disclosed.

On May 28, 2025, around 7:45 p.m., the California Highway Patrol attempted to stop an allegedly stolen vehicle, escalated a chase that was then converted to CHP’s fixed-wing aircraft tracking the vehicle from the air. About 15 minutes later, ground units re-engaged as Hernandez-Garcia parked briefly, exited, then fled again when chased by police. He collided at high speed into a minivan at Park Blvd & 21st St, then lost control near 12th Avenue & East 21st Street, where his car struck a fire hydrant, a tree, a parked vehicle, and pedestrians. Marvin Boomer, a beloved Castlemont High School math teacher and pathways coach, was killed instantly. His partner, Nina Woodruff, was seriously injured.

On May 27, 2025, Ingleside Police Department officers responded to reports of gunfire at a residence on Capehart Circle. Upon arrival, they found 54-year-old Albert Florencio Howie, a longtime paramedic, dead from a gunshot wound. Howie had served as a paramedic in the Coastal Bend region for many years and was well known in local emergency services. Police quickly identified the shooter as 29-year-old SRO Ashley Nicole Transmeier, an off-duty officer with the Corpus Christi Independent School District Police Department. She was later found unresponsive in a vehicle parked nearby and was revived by paramedics using medical aid and Narcan, indicating a suspected narcotics-related medical crisis or overdose attempt following the shooting. Investigators believe the incident arose from a domestic dispute tied to a possible romantic triangle or jealousy-related altercation. Law enforcement sources reported that Howie and Transmeier knew each other personally, though the exact nature of their relationship (romantic involvement or friendship) has not been fully detailed in official statements. A firearm believed to have been used in the shooting was recovered at the scene. Transmeier was arrested and charged with murder. She was booked into San Patricio County Jail and later placed on unpaid administrative leave by the Corpus Christi Independent School District Police Department pending the criminal case outcome.
