Raul Gonzalez, 52, was shot in the facial area and killed on August 13, 2023, on Glenwood Road near San Jose Road in the Green Valley Farms area east of San Benito, Texas. An obituary published August 23, 2023, lists San Benito as the place of death; funeral arrangements were handled by Thomae-Garza Funeral Home, which sought information about his next of kin.

Pedro Rodriguez was arrested and charged with murder after Cameron County Sheriff’s deputies said his claim of acting in self-defense and not knowing Gonzalez conflicted with evidence at the scene. Rodriguez is being held at the Carrizalez-Rucker Detention Center in Olmito, Texas. The investigation remains open as authorities continue examining the circumstances of Gonzalez’s death.

If anyone has information about Raul Gonzalez, his activities in the Green Valley Farms area, or the events of August 13, 2023, please share what you know.
