Austin Police Arrest Suspect in Long-Standing Murder Cases
A significant breakthrough as the Austin Police arrest a suspect linked to two unsolved murders from 2018 and 2024.
The Austin Police Department announced a major development in two cold cases with the arrest of Luis Fernando Benitez Gonzalez. The 26-year-old has been linked to the homicides of Alba Jenisse Aviles in 2018 and Alyssa Ann Rivera in 2024.
The arrest was a collaborative effort involving the Austin Police Department, the Bastrop County Sheriff’s Office, and the U.S. Marshals’ Lone Star Fugitive Task Force. This development brings hope to the families affected by these tragedies, as justice seems within reach.
“Finally may have justice”
The arrest affidavit obtained by KXAN provides details on the charges against Benitez Gonzalez, though further comments from his attorney are yet to be disclosed. The community's relief is palpable as these cases receive much-needed attention and resolution.
