FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE�October 7, 2026
Brazos County Sheriff’s Office Provides Update on Ongoing Investigation

Brazos County, Texas – The Brazos County Sheriff’s Office is providing an update to the community regarding the ongoing investigation that resulted in the September 23, 2026, arrest of Gerardo Gonzalez, 22, of College Station.

The investigation began after the Sheriff’s Office received a CyberTip regarding videos reported to potentially contain child po*******hy. Investigators worked to identify the individual associated with the videos and, on September 23, obtained warrants and arrested Gonzalez.

Since the initial arrest, deputies with the Sheriff’s Office Special Investigative Unit have continued working the case and gathering additional information. As a result of that continued investigation, an additional warrant has been obtained charging Gonzalez with: Continuous Sexual Abuse of a Young Child: Victim Under 14 (First Degree Felony).

Gonzalez remains in the Brazos County Jail.

Investigators have no information that any of the offenses under investigation were related to Gonzalez’s former employment at CSISD.

Good news, Brazos County! This morning, Judge Duane Peters signed an order lifting the county burn ban, effective immediately.

While we’re glad to see the burn ban lifted, we still encourage everyone to use caution and practice safe burning. Before starting any outdoor fire, make sure you have plenty of water nearby, keep fires away from structures and anything that could easily catch fire, and never leave a fire unattended. Always make sure your fire is completely out before leaving the area.

Thank you, Brazos County, for doing your part to help keep our community safe. Stay safe and enjoy the cooler days ahead!

Brazos County Sheriff’s Office Investigating Fatal Shooting
October 1, 2026

The Brazos County Sheriff’s Office is investigating the death of a female who was located Wednesday night at a residence in northern Brazos County.

Just after 9 p.m., deputies were dispatched to a residence in the 6400 block of Trace Bend in response to a welfare concern. When deputies arrived, they located a deceased female who had suffered a gunshot wound.

The victim has been identified as Veronica Tussey-Taylor, 59, a Brazos County resident.

During the investigation, investigators determined that the victim’s vehicle was missing from the residence and developed a suspect in the case. Investigators utilized automated license plate reader technology, including Flock cameras, to determine that the victim’s vehicle had left Brazos County and was in the Houston area.

Brazos County Sheriff’s Office deputies continued their investigation and obtained information indicating that the victim’s vehicle may be located at a property in northern Harris County. Brazos County deputies began responding to the property to assist with locating the vehicle. During this time, a Texas Department of Public Safety helicopter located the vehicle on the property.

Shortly later Brazos County deputies arrived in the area in an unmarked vehicle to provide surveillance while Harris County Sheriff’s Office deputies responded to the property. Before deputies entered the property, the suspect took his own life using a fi***rm. Upon locating the suspect, he was confirmed to be deceased.

The male subject has been identified as John Goodwin, 54, a College Station resident.
The victim and the male subject were known to each other.

The investigation remains ongoing, and investigators from the Brazos County Sheriff’s Office continue to work with the Harris County Sheriff’s Office, the Texas Department of Public Safety, and other law enforcement agencies involved in the investigation. We want to thank these agencies with their assistance in this investigation.

Our thoughts are with the victim’s family, and everyone affected by this tragic incident.

We are proud to recognize Deputy Abraham Rodriguez for his dedication to keeping Brazos County roadways safe.

On September 23, Deputy Rodriguez was recognized at the Highway Heroes Impaired Driving Enforcement Awards Luncheon for his commitment to impaired driving enforcement and roadway safety.

Impaired driving puts drivers, passengers and others on the road at risk. These crashes are 100% preventable. Every time you plan to drink, make a plan for a sober ride. Designate a sober driver, call a rideshare, or find another safe way home.

Thank you, Deputy Rodriguez, for your continued dedication to protecting our community and helping keep impaired drivers off our roads.

We also appreciate the law enforcement officers and transportation safety partners who work every day to make our roadways safer.

🔬 Happy National Forensic Science Week!

This week, the Brazos County Sheriff’s Office would like to recognize and thank Crime Scene Investigator Brian Hagen for the work he does every day behind the scenes to help our deputies and investigators put the pieces together.

Crime scene work takes patience, precision, and an incredible attention to detail. From documenting a scene and collecting evidence to processing the smallest details that could become an important part of an investigation, Brian’s work plays a vital role in helping us find answers and pursue justice.

A lot of this work happens quietly, long after the scene has been cleared. But every photograph, piece of evidence, report, and detail matters.

Brian, thank you for your dedication, professionalism, and the work you put in every day to support the Brazos County Sheriff’s Office and the people we serve. We appreciate everything you do!

Happy National Forensic Science Week, Brian!
