A New Braunfels community was shaken by a grim domestic disturbance resulting in the death of a man purportedly at the hands of his own son. Comal County Sheriff's Office deputies responded to a call late Monday night on the 100 block of Dry Bear Creek, responding to a grave situation that ultimately culminated in the arrest of 24-year-old William Tarnosky Jr.

Upon their arrival at around 9:30 p.m., deputies discovered 57-year-old William Tarnosky with severe stab wounds. In an attempt to quickly aid the victim, deputies started to administer life-saving measures, which were continued by paramedics upon their arrival. Tragically, these efforts were not enough to save the man's life, and he was pronounced dead at the scene. Later identified as the son of the victim, William Tarnosky Jr. was arrested without resistance and is currently facing a charge of murder, according to information obtained by KSAT.

Details provided by KENS 5 indicate that the investigation is still active, with authorities piecing together the scene that led to a son being taken into custody for the murder of his father. William Tarnosky Jr. was taken to the Comal County Jail, and his bond has not been set.
