KERRVILLE POLICE SEEK MURDER SUSPECT FOLLOWING SHOOTING DEATH
The Kerrville Police Department is searching for a murder suspect, Gabriel Rene Aleman, 29 years old, following an overnight shooting in which a woman was shot and killed.

An occupant of the apartment, Deanna Leann Arispe, 36 years old, was struck by gunfire. She was transported to Peterson Regional Medical Center where she was declared deceased.
An initial investigation revealed that a male suspect fired into the apartment through the front door, striking Arispe. The apartment was occupied by three children and two adults. No one else was injured in the shooting. Video footage from nearby doorbell camera led Kerrville Police Department detectives to identifying the suspect as Gabriel Rene Aleman, 29 years old of Kerrville. A warrant for Murder, Texas Penal Code 19.02, was obtained for Aleman with a $1,000,000.00 bond.
Kerrville Police Department Special Investigations Unit detectives located Aleman’s vehicle at a residence in the 100 block of South Michon Drive. A search warrant was executed by the Tactical Response Team consisting of operators from the Kerrville Police Department, Fredericksburg Police Department, and Boerne Police Department. Aleman was not located at the residence and is currently at large.
Aleman is described as 6’05” and 205 pounds, with black, shoulder length hair, a brown beard, brown eyes and extensive tattoos. Aleman has a Green Bay Packer G under his left eye, names in cursive above both eye brows, a starburst under his left eye, tattoos on his neck, both arms and hands. Aleman should be considered armed and dangerous.

Operation Kill Switch
June 13, 2024
STATUS: OPEN
Texas Crime Stoppers, Kerr Crime Stoppers Inc. and 30 other local Crime Stoppers programs across Texas have partnered with the ATF and the United States Attorneys to combat the black sale of "switches" and "3D printers" used to create the switches. Kerr Crime Stoppers Inc. is offering cash rewards for information reported directly to Crime Stoppers that leads to the recovery of "switches" or the arrest of those in possession of "switches" or the "3D printers" used to create them. The following in an excerpt from the press release from the United States Department Attorneys Office.
"Crimestoppers to Offer Rewards for Switches
Monday, June 10, 2024
Today, U.S. Attorneys for the Northern, Southern, Eastern, and Western Districts of Texas announced “Operation Texas Kill Switch,” a statewide initiative targeting illegal machinegun conversion devices, colloquially known as “switches.”
At simultaneous press conferences throughout the state, U.S. Attorneys Leigha Simonton, Alamdar Hamdani, Damien Diggs, and Jaime Esparza, joined by Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, & Explosives Special Agents in Charge Jeffrey Boshek and Michael Weddel, lambasted switches, which transform commercially available firearms into fully automatic weapons capable of firing faster than military-grade M4s.
“We’re here to talk about a roughly one-inch piece of plastic. It looks innocuous enough, a little like a lego or a k’nex block. But this one-inch piece of plastic is killing people,” U.S. Attorney Leigha Simonton said at Monday’s press conference. “Machinegun conversion devices can turn Second Amendment-protected firearms into illegal weapons of war, and petty criminals into brutal killers. We cannot have our streets turned into war zones. We cannot – and we will not – allow switches to proliferate in north Texas.”
“I have been in this business for a long time, and nothing scares me more than the rapid flood of machine gun conversion devices on the streets of Texas and beyond. Rest assured that ATF and its partners are doing everything we can to stop the flow of these things and to prevent the carnage they can create. I applaud our U.S. Attorney partners for their willingness to aggressively prosecute these criminals and gangsters” stated ATF Dallas Field Division Special Agent in Charge Jeffrey C. Boshek II.
About an inch long, switches may be made of metal or plastic and can be printed on commercially available 3D printers. They generally slot into the butt of a gun and allow the shooter to fire “full auto,” unloading dozens of rounds with a single pull of the trigger. (In contrast, regular semi-automatic firearms require a separate trigger pull for each round fired.) To date, switches have been used in numerous fatal shootings, including at least one juvenile mass shooting and multiple police killings.
Except in very limited circumstances, possession of a switch is illegal, as the National Firearms Act classifies the switch itself as a machinegun.
Yet the number of switches recovered by law enforcement has risen dramatically in the past few years. Between 2017 and 2023, Texas-based ATF agents seized 991 switches; 490 of those, 50 percent, were seized just last year. They are often sold over social media, marketed to adults and juveniles alike.
At Monday’s press conference, the U.S. Attorneys announced that as part of Operation Texas Kill Switch, they are partnering with Crime Stopper programs statewide to combat the proliferation of these illegal devices.
From now until Aug. 31, local Crime Stopper programs will offer cash rewards for information leading to the apprehension or prosecution of those who possess switches or 3D printers being used to manufacture them. To be eligible for cash rewards, tipsters must provide information to their local Crime Stopper program.
Tips can be submitted 24 hours a day by calling 830-896-8477, or by using the P3 Tips app, or through our website at www.kerrtips.com.

Child Death Investigation - Assistance Needed
August 09, 2021
No its not Friday but this is by far the most important case we have ever posted here.
From our friends at the Kerrville Police Department:
Today, August 9, 2021 marks the one year anniversary of the passing of Gideon Barideaux. The Kerrville Police Department, along with other law enforcement agencies and the 216th District Attorney’s Office, continue to actively investigate this child homicide.
On Thursday, August 6th, 2020 at about 9:00 p.m., Kerrville Police Department officers responded to the 3300 block of Legion Drive regarding a child with injuries. The child, Gideon Barideaux, 2 years of age, was reportedly injured in an accidental fall. He was transported by air ambulance to University Hospital in San Antonio. Despite the best efforts of hospital staff, Gideon died on August 9, 2020.
Investigators, as well as medical staff, recognized Gideon’s injuries were not consistent with an accident. The Kerrville Police Department immediately began an investigation in order to determine how Gideon became injured, and to identify those responsible. Jennifer Barideaux and her boyfriend, Tadeo Garces Jr were interviewed by KPD Criminal Investigations Unit investigators, and both maintained that the child’s injuries were the result of an accidental fall.
On August 14, 2020, the Bexar County Medical Examiner’s Office determined Gideon’s manner of death was a homicide. Forensic medical experts reported Gideon’s injuries could not have been caused in the manner Barideaux and Garces claimed.
Kerrville Police Department investigators, working closely with the 216th District Attorney’s Office, multiple state and federal agencies, and the Kerr County Sheriff’s Office, continued a painstakingly detailed investigation into Gideon’s death. As a result of the investigation, KPD investigators obtained arrest warrants for Barideaux and Garces for Tampering with Physical Evidence.
On October 20, 2020, both Barideaux and Garces were arrested and charged with Tampering with Physical Evidence, a Third Degree Felony. Barideaux invoked her Fifth Amendment rights and continues to refuse to cooperate in this investigation into her child’s homicide. A formal indictment in the 216th District Court has not yet taken place.
On July 26, 2021 in the 216th District Court in Kerrville, Kerr County, Texas, the defense for Garces requested a plea deal for the offense of Tampering with Evidence. After consultation between the 216th District Attorney’s Office, Kerrville Police Department’s Criminal Investigations Unit and the family of Gideon Barideaux, a plea offer was made and accepted by Garces. The Honorable Judge Pattillo has set a sentencing date of September 30, 2021.
This case remains under investigation. The Kerrville Police Department continues to conduct interviews and pursue leads related to this offense, and anyone with information in this case is urged to contact the Kerrville Police Department or Kerr County Crime Stoppers at 830-896-8477, please reference Case # 2001577 when leaving a tip. Crime Stoppers will pay up to $5,000 for information leading to the arrest and charges filed on the person(s) responsible for the death of Gideon Barideaux.
