12 Nov Beeville Police Arrest Three, Including Two Juveniles, After Shots-Fired Call on South Tyler Street

Beeville police arrested three people, two of them juveniles, after responding to a shots-fired call and an assault last weekend, according to the Beeville Police Department.

Mark Mungia, 19, is charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and was taken to the Bee County Jail. Police said their investigation identified him as the person who fired the gun, and a firearm was seized from him when he was apprehended. The other two suspects, who are 13 and 16 years old, were detained and taken to a detention center for juveniles in Sinton. The department did not say what charges, if any, the juveniles face.

Officers went to the 1300 block of South Tyler Street on a report of gunfire and learned that a person was the victim of an assault involving three suspects, police said. They secured the area and collected an expended casing and surveillance video of what happened. The three suspects were found near Dolan and Buchanan streets. The department did not say whether anyone was hurt.

Detectives in the Criminal Investigations Division went to the scene, took statements and gathered evidence that included the gun, the casing, phones and the video. The department credited that work with helping piece the case together.

Police said an arrest does not determine guilt and that everyone arrested is presumed innocent until a court rules otherwise.
