On May 19, 2026, the Prairie View Police Department Investigations Division opened an investigation into allegations of Aggravated Assault with a Deadly Weapon and Impeding Breath and Circulation involving a female resident of Prairie View. Authorities confirmed that both the suspect and the victim were in a relationship.

Based on information gathered that same day, investigators established probable cause, leading to the issuance of an arrest warrant for Javier Gonzales Jr., who is currently on parole.

Detective Sergeant Nicholas Mendiola, Sergeant Hugo Valencia, Officer Glendon Arnold, and Special Agents from the Texas Department of Public Safety Criminal Investigations Division (CID) Violent Crimes Unit (2A4) conducted the investigation.

At around 7:45 PM, officers located Gonzales Jr. near 19th Street and Rice Road in Hempstead, Texas. He was apprehended without incident and transported to the Waller County Jail, where he was released into the custody of jail staff.
