The Fort Bend County Sheriff's Office is ramping up efforts to locate Billy Alfaro, the 35-year-old man labeled as a person of interest after reportedly firing shots at deputies. Click2Houston reports that the confrontation unfolded during the early hours last Saturday at a home on Beverly Park Street following a noise complaint about arguing and loud banging, which prompted a welfare check.
Authorities were called to the scene around 2:50 a.m. and apprehended an adult male who was attempting to flee. During the arrest, another individual believed to be Alfaro allegedly fired shots at a deputy before retreating into the residence. Although no injuries were reported, the situation escalated, prompting a swift response from SWAT, who ordered everyone to evacuate the home. Despite their efforts, the second man managed to escape. According to KHOU, an investigation was initiated to determine Alfaro's connection to the shooting, though it has not been confirmed whether he was the shooter.
Described as 5 feet 5 inches tall and weighing 160 pounds with black hair and brown eyes, Alfaro is currently considered armed and dangerous by the sheriff's office. Communities are urged to come forth with any information that could lead to his capture; the public can contact the Sheriff’s Office through their non-emergency number at 281-341-4665, option 1.
