OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :

On 08/15/2025, at approximately 3:12 a.m., Laredo Police Department officers responded to reports of a man making threats near West Montgomery Street and McDonnell Avenue. The individual, later identified as Carlos Fernandez, 29, was believed to be armed and intoxicated. He reportedly assaulted a man in the 300 block of West Elm Street, striking him with a bottle and kicking him while he was on the ground. Officers located Fernandez near West Saunders Street and East San Francisco Avenue. He fled and was later confronted at Olive Street and Valencia Avenue. Fernandez ignored repeated commands to drop an object wrapped in cloth and allegedly pointed it at officers. One officer deployed a Taser without effect, and another officer opened fire, striking him in the abdomen and arm. Fernandez was transported to Laredo Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead. The officer who discharged his weapon was placed on administrative reassignment. The case remains under investigation.
