Suspect in road rage shooting arrested

Sheriff further explains response, negotiations that took place

(Guadalupe County) – A Seguin man accused in a road rage shooting and hours-long standoff Monday night is now in custody, and authorities say all three of his children have been found safe.

The Guadalupe County Sheriff’s Office says Justin Gutierrez was arrested at 7:12 a.m. Tuesday after deputies, along with officers from the Seguin Police Department, located him in the 700 block of Stratton Oaks here in Seguin. Investigators say multiple community tips led officers to Gutierrez’s location. He was taken into custody without incident, and officials say no one was injured during the arrest.

Gutierrez was booked on warrants for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon causing bodily injury and unlawful possession of a firearm by a felon. Investigators say additional charges could be filed as the case remains under investigation.

Meanwhile, Guadalupe County

Sheriff Joshua Ray is offering additional details about the incident – specifically addressing public concerns about law enforcement’s response, particularly the hours-long negotiations spent that evening at a Pine Street home.

Ray says the incident first began on Interstate 10 but ultimately ended up at the location off of Old Seguin Luling Road. He says that’s when Gutierrez, reportedly opened fire on another vehicle –striking the man that allegedly was chasing him and his wife.

“The gentleman, Gutierrez, that we were pursuing most of the evening, he opened fire on the vehicle that the victim was in and shot five times and one of those hit the victim in the head. Luckily, fortunately, it ended up not being life-threatening. So, he was treated for it and is expected to make a full recovery,” said Ray.

At this point, Ray says investigators are still working to determine what led up to the shooting.

(Marion) – The Marion ISD is celebrating its top teachers for the 2025-2026 school year. Across the district, campuses are recognizing the daily accomplishments of all teachers, especially those selected as Teacher of the Year for their respective schools.

This year, the Teachers of the Year winners in Marion were recognized in various ways across the district. They were first announced to their campuses and surprised with a celebratory “parade” that included the band, cheerleaders, administrators, fellow staff members,

“We don’t know completely all the circumstances surrounding the incident or why the decisions were made regarding the shooting or whatnot. We’re still putting all that together,” said Ray.

According to the sheriff, Gutierrez fled the scene resulting in a standoff situation in a local neighborhood.

“Mr. Gutierrez went into the residence there on Old Seguin Luling Road, left his wife there and then took the three children with them and then left -- and went to the residence on Pine Street, which ultimately, the rest of the evening activities ensued from there,” said Ray.

The response on Pine Street drew criticism and confusion after it was later revealed the suspect was no longer inside the home during much of the law enforcement operation. However, Ray says deputies had every reason to believe Gutierrez was inside.

students, and their families.

In addition, the Marion Education Foundation hosted a special banquet in their honor at Los Cucos Mexican Restaurant and were recognized publicly at the April school board meeting. All honorees will also represent the district during the Seguin Chamber of Commerce’s annual Teacher of the Year banquet scheduled for this Friday, May 8.

“This happens when there’s a void of the information that’s out there. Misinformation usually gets applied. And the people that are drawing those conclusions just don’t have accurate information. And we were operating off of the information that we had,” said Ray.

He says deputies had received confirmation from the homeowner, as well as statements from witnesses and family members, placing the suspect inside the residence. Negotiators also communicated directly with Gutierrez by phone.

“We were in active negotiations with Mr. Gutierrez from about roughly about 5.30 p.m. until 8.30 p.m. That was through a cellular phone device… and in that cell phone, he alluded that he was in the house. Multiple times he stated, come on in, you’re going to have to kill me in front of my children,” said Ray. Shooting, pg. 4

Contracts of probationary employees terminated in Seguin

Community members, students show support for those no longer employed in local classrooms

Cindy Aguirre-Herrera

(Seguin) -- A large crowd of parents, students and supporters filled the Seguin ISD boardroom last week, urging trustees to reconsider the termination of AJB Briesemeister Middle School theater and dance teacher Denise Ebarra, whose students and families say she has built an award-winning fine arts program and made a lasting impact on campus.

The emotional turnout came just before the Seguin ISD Board of Trustees voted 5-1 to approve the termination of not only her contract but also a list of several other probationary employee contracts. Trustee William Dwyer cast the lone dissenting vote, while Trustee Linda Duncan was absent.

Before the vote, Dwyer attempted to make a motion to reject the list of proposed terminations, but the motion failed for lack of a second.

Seguin ISD Superintendent Dr. Jack Lee told the audience the recommendation was based on employee credentialing requirements, not performance in the classroom.

“Part of what you have in front of you is a list of educators across our district that may be phenomenal educators but have not met the credentials necessary to be able to hold the positions that they are in, whether that’s certification or other items,” said Lee.

In accordance with the Texas Education Code21.103(a) and Board Policy DFAB (LEGAL), a probationary contract employee may be terminated at the end of the contract period if the board determines that such termination will serve the best interest of the

district.

Lee says the decision was difficult, but necessary to align with district expectations and legal requirements.

“It’s challenging because we have to make decisions that are sometimes difficult to make based off of what’s best for the district, what’s in line with the legal requirements that we must meet, as well as what our values and our expectations are for educators,” said Lee.

During his explanation, Lee also reassured families that student programs would remain intact despite staffing changes.

“I want to be very clear that regardless of the outcome of any type of vote, we are going to put students first,” said Lee. “Even if we have educators who cannot work with us because they have not met the necessary credentials to be able to hold those positions, does not mean that those programs disappear.”

Calling the recommendation one of the more difficult decisions district leaders must make, Lee says the burden of those decisions should not fall on students.

“It’s supposed to be hard for the adults. It’s not supposed to be hard

for the kids,” said Lee. “It’s our job to do that work.”

Board President Denise Crettenden also made it a point to ask district administrators whether educators still had to complete certification requirements before the school year ends.

Answering on behalf of the district was Chief Human Resources Officer Jeremy Neuman.

“If you approve this list, they will go on a termination of their probationary contract,” said Neuman. “But I have informed the folks that can achieve their certification or their intern certification that if they are still requested by the principals of their campuses, that we can turn around and rehire them. And we’ve set it up so that they don’t skip a beat.”

Although she agreed that the decision was difficult, Trustee Lisa Burns defended the administration’s recommendation.

Burns says one of the board’s expectations in hiring Lee was to ensure district policies and procedures were being followed.

“I appreciate Dr. Lee following through on what is a hard thing, but what is a policy and procedure,” said Burns. “I think it’s important that we follow state rules and regulations.”

Nonetheless, Burns encouraged affected teachers to complete their certification requirements and return.

“We want you in this district,” said Burns. “I want you in this district. Get that correct certification so that we can follow those rules and regulations and provide the best for Seguin ISD students.”

Shooting, continued.

Ray believes Gutierrez likely escaped before officers had fully secured the perimeter.

“I don’t know at what point he got out. He likely got out of the house while law enforcement was still setting up the perimeter… and that’s usually when the suspect gets away,” said Ray. “But we operating off the information that we had, we had every reason to believe that he was in that home.”

Another major factor in the decision-making process was the safety of the suspect’s three children, who were believed to be inside and in danger.

“We had information that he loved his children and that he wouldn’t hurt them. So, they were technically hostages because they were not allowed to leave,” said Ray.

Because of that, law enforcement prioritized negotiation over immediate tactical action.

“Our training and experience, everything tells us that as long as negotiations are active, you continue with the negotiations. We did not want to make a tactical dynamic entry into that house,” said Ray.

After several hours without contact and growing concern for the children’s safety, he says authorities made the decision to enter the home.

Terminated, continued.

Crettenden echoed that sentiment, saying she too hopes impacted teachers take the necessary steps to return to the classroom.

“I really do hope that they’ll take those steps and get on the road to that certification because I want to visit them in their classroom next year,” said Crettenden.

Meanwhile, for many in attendance, the issue was not whether certification matters -- it was whether Ebarra was given enough time to complete the process.

Angelise Plata, Ebarra’s daughter, was among those who continued speaking out after Tuesday’s vote, submitting a letter the following day criticizing how the district handled both the decision and the public response.

In her letter, Plata said she left the meeting “shocked, deeply disappointed, and frustrated” by what she described as the dismissal of students and families who came forward to speak in support of Ebarra.

Plata says students and parents spoke “not in

“We finally got to that point at roughly 11 o’clock at night because we had no more options on the table… we were concerned that we had not heard the children in any form or fashion for hours,” said Ray.

Ray described the decision as one of the most difficult of his career.

“That was one of the hardest decisions I think I’ve had to make since I’ve been the elected sheriff… my biggest fear was that we were going to do something that was going to harm those children,” said Ray.

Ultimately, the children ages 13, 12 and 1 year old, were not inside the home but were later found safe. That’s when he says Gutierrez was taken into custody the following day.

Ray says the length of the standoff was not unusual given the circumstances and the priority of avoiding violence.

“If you can talk your way out of it, that’s the way to do it. And that will always be my inclination… you’re striving for that non-confrontational, non-tactical outcome,” said Ray. “So it, I mean, it’s not unusual for it to play out the many hours that it did.”

The standoff on Pine Street also proved a long night for those living on the street. Some were not allowed to go home. Others had no option but to stay indoors and away from any potential danger.

Officials say the investigation into the road rage shooting remains ongoing.

anger, but in desperation and love for a teacher who has made a meaningful impact on their lives.”

She says watching students and families plead for Ebarra’s return, only to feel ignored, was “heartbreaking.”

Plata also criticized what she described as a lack of communication from district leadership, saying repeated attempts by families and supporters to contact trustees and administrators had gone unanswered.

“We have been left in the dark, without communication or response from those who are supposed to hear us, represent us, and help us,” wrote Plata. “Silence in moments like this only adds to the hurt and frustration.”

Plata said supporters were not asking the district to ignore certification standards, but to allow more time for Ebarra to complete the process while continuing to serve students.

Plata also questioned the district’s use of a House Bill as justification for the move, arguing the legislation does not take effect until 2030 and is primarily focused on foundational academic courses, not fine arts.

In comments made after the meeting, Plata told the Seguin Daily News that her mother had accepted the Seguin ISD position after being recruited away from a theater job already lined up in San Antonio, and said the district was fully aware of her certification status at the time.

“They knew she was uncertified whenever they hired her,” said Plata. “They knew that they were signing the teaching permit until 2028. They knew everything that they were getting into. I don’t know why now it’s a problem.”

Plata also says the family has spent weeks attempting to communicate with district leadership with little response.

“We’ve sent emails. We’ve tried to contact the board. We’ve tried to contact the superintendent. We’ve tried to contact his secretary. We’ve gotten no responses from anybody,” said Plata.

Despite the district’s assurances that fine arts programs will continue, many parents and students left Tuesday’s meeting in tears, lingering outside the boardroom long well after the vote. Plata says her mother has already sped up her certification process but will still not be on track to complete it until 2027.

Hunter Mica is joining the UTSA powerlifting team, where he plans to study kinesiology with hopes of becoming a strength and conditioning coach. A standout defensive lineman for the Matador football team, Mica says he discovered a genuine passion for powerlifting along the way.

Elliott Weaver will also join the Javelinas’ track program at A&M-Kingsville, where he plans to study business, finance, and marketing. Weaver explained what drew him to the program.

Will Gray Mahaffey rounds out the signing class with a baseball commitment to A&M-Kingsville. Mahaffey plans to study business, with aspirations of becoming a business owner after his playing days are over. The Matador catcher spoke about the bond he shares with his Matador teammates and fellow pitchers.

“I just love all of them, really,” Mahaffey said. “We understand each other and we can work together as a team. We’re like a band of brothers. We’ve been playing since we were little, and I think it’s a special bond that we have.”

Mahaffey and his Matador teammates continue their postseason run this week, facing Leander Rouse in the UIL area round. That best-of-three series is scheduled to begin Thursday.

and she took pride in creating a warm, cozy, and beautifully decorated home— especially during the holidays. In her later years, she relished playing games and keeping up with friends on Facebook. She lived with her daughter Kimberly, where she spent many leisurely hours sitting on the front porch, sharing stories from her life as a teacher, mother, and grandmother, as well as fond memories of growing up in San Antonio and Blanco with family and friends.

She was grateful to reconnect later in life with her biological brothers, Gary and Windle, and cherished the relationship she and Gary built.

Judy was a lifelong Lutheran whose faith sustained her through life’s many challenges, including the loss of her twins and a newborn grandson, a battle with thyroid cancer in her 40s, and ongoing health struggles. She often recited the Serenity Prayer and shared this practice with her grandson Cameron. Her steadfast faith in God gave her strength in hardship, comfort in sorrow, and a deep sense of peace in uncertain times.

Hantavirus Infections Suspected In Death Of 3 On Cruise Ship

(Undated) -- Three people are dead from a suspected hantavirus infection on a cruise ship in the Atlantic Ocean. Health officials say another three people are being treated, with hantavirus confirmed in one case. Hantaviruses are spread by contact with rodents or their urine, droppings, and saliva, the CDC said, and do not often spread via person-to-person contact. According to the CDC, hantavirus infections can cause hantavirus pulmonary syndrome, which affects the lungs and kills more than a third of its patients in the United States.

Rudy Giuliani Battling Pneumonia

(Palm Beach, FL) -- Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani is in critical but stable condition battling pneumonia. Guiliani was rushed to a South Florida hospital on Sunday with a severe respiratory issue that required a ventilator. His spokesman, Ted Goodman, says the 81-year-old is now breathing on his own and is being monitored as a “precautionary measure.” Goodman also says Guiliani was diagnosed with restrictive airway disease following his exposure to toxins at Ground Zero following after the 9/11 terror attacks on America, adding “complications to any respiratory issues.”

Court Moves Quickly On Abortion Case

(Washington, DC) -- A federal appeals court ruling which blocks doctors from sending abortion pills through the mail, has been put on hold. The order came from U.S. Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito who set a briefing for this week. Two companies that manufacture mifepristone [[mifuh-pris-tone]] had asked the Supreme Court to pause Friday’s ruling. They claimed it would cause “immediate chaos.” Monday’s ruling could mean that there will be arguments in front of the High Court before its summer recess.

One In Five Americans Develop Skin Cancer By Age 70 (Atlanta, GA) -- One in five Americans will develop skin cancer by age 70, making it the most common cancer. But the American Cancer Society says it’s important to note that this disease is highly preventable by using sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30, reapplying it every two hours, wearing a hat in the sun and avoiding indoor tanning. Experts say those most at risk are people with fair skin, light-colored hair and eyes and those with five or more blistering sunburns during their teen years. During this Skin Cancer Awareness Month, dermatologists are telling us to look for new, changing, or unusual spots on the skin, such as red patches or moles or pearly bumps. Skin cancer is treatable and highly curable when detected early.
