Share this @internewscast.com

A Texas man with a history of criminal activity has been apprehended once again after allegedly participating in three distinct shootings over the course of a month.

Abraham Herrera, 21, is now facing several charges due to his suspected involvement in two drive-by shootings and a confrontation with a SWAT team in Hays County, about 15 miles from Austin, last month, as reported by FOX 7.

The first incident reportedly occurred on November 3, when law enforcement responded to reports of gunfire in the 500 block of Santa Fe Run in Kyle.

Upon arrival, Hays County deputies discovered a homeowner who had sustained serious injuries after numerous shots were fired into the residence. According to FOX 7, this shooting appeared to be a random act of violence, as authorities have yet to identify a clear motive.

Herrera is facing several charges related to the alleged drive-by shootings and the standoff with SWAT, according to reports from FOX 7.

Initially, no arrests were made, but authorities released an image of an SUV believed to be linked to the incident.

Just nine days later, on Nov. 12, Hays County SWAT was called to the scene of a barricade incident in Buda after deputies responded to reports of shots being fired in the area, FOX 7 reported. 

While officers initially confronted Herrera, he allegedly fled into a nearby wooded area and refused to surrender. 

Following a standoff with SWAT, Herrera was reportedly taken into custody and authorities recovered an AR-15-style firearm and ammunition at the scene.

Herrera was subsequently charged with evading arrest or detention, unlawful carrying of weapons, disorderly conduct, and tampering or fabricating with evidence, according to the outlet. 

Despite the charges, court records obtained by FOX 7 indicate Herrera was released from jail just two days after his standoff with SWAT. 

On Dec. 1, investigators were reportedly made aware of a second drive-by shooting in Martindale that occurred the weekend of Thanksgiving, with evidence allegedly pointing to Herrera. 

On Dec. 19, Herrera was taken into custody on an outstanding warrant issued by the Texas Rangers, FOX 7 reported.

Three days later, investigators reportedly linked shell casings found at the scene of the November shooting in Kyle to the firearm seized from Herrera during his standoff with SWAT.

He is now facing additional charges of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, stemming from the first drive-by shooting, along with disorderly conduct with a firearm, tampering with physical evidence, and evading arrest, with his total combined bond amount set at $409,500, FOX 7 reported. 

The Hays County Sheriff’s Office and Hays County District Attorney’s Office did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.
