Maverick County Deputies Capture Three Suspects After Violent Crime Spree

MAVERICK COUNTY, TX — A violent crime spree involving three armed suspects came to an end Thursday after a swift response by the Maverick County Sheriff’s Office.

According to our sources with the Maverick County Sheriff’s Office, the series of incidents began at the Family Dollar store on Memo Robinson Boulevard. Two men entered the store while a third suspect waited outside in a light-colored Cadillac. The clerk was threatened at gunpoint as the men stole approximately $100 in cash and merchandise.

A customer arriving at the store was also attacked. One of the suspects reportedly ripped a gold chain from the victim’s neck before fleeing.

While deputies were responding, another report came in from Eidson Road near Loma Bonita. A man riding his bicycle said he was forced off and assaulted by the same suspects, who stole his bike and other personal items.

Deputies quickly relayed a description of the getaway vehicle, and patrol units later located the Cadillac at a car wash along Camino Real Road to El Indio. Units converged on the location and detained the suspects without incident.

The men were identified as 19-year-olds Juan Aldaco, Angel Rivera, and Joe Cruz. All three face multiple charges tied to the robberies and assaults. They remain in custody pending formal arraignment.

Our sources noted that the rapid coordination among patrol units played a key role in ending the spree and preventing additional crimes.
