A Brazos County district court jury convicts a Hempstead of gunfire outside a Bryan tire store in May of 2020. 26 year old Arnoldo Romero was sentenced to 45 years for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. A 20 year sentence for unlawful possession of a firearm by a felon will be served at the same time. A news release from the district attorney’s office says the victim still has physical complications from being shot. At the time of the shooting, Romero was out on parole following convictions on four counts of aggravated robbery. Online court records show Romero has pending trials in Brazos County for an armed robbery that took place in June of 2023, engaging in organized criminal activity in January 2023, and felony weapons charges in November 2021 and June 2023.

Brazos County citizens driving down the road, along with individuals at the House of Tires ran to the aid of the victim. Multiple individuals pulled their cars off of Texas Avenue to rush toward the victim and provide life saving aid. When police and EMS arrived, the victim was transported to St. Joseph’s Hospital.
