In Texas, a man is accused of murdering his mother-in-law and her boyfriend, prompting an Amber Alert.
According to police, Machado-Hernandez is considered the common-law husband of the deceased in Austin.
A Venezuelan national has been charged with capital murder after allegedly shooting his partner and her mother in Texas on Monday. According to Austin Police, officers discovered two deceased individuals in a vehicle with gunshot wounds in the 1800 block of Burton Drive on the morning of October 14. Sherles Gregorio Machado-Hernandez, 31, has been charged with the murder of Francis Anseume-Corredor, 27, and Bryan Flores Alvarez, 19, who were pronounced dead at the scene. An Amber Alert was issued for Anseume-Corredor's three children, who were unaccounted for at the time of their mother's death. Since the shooting, the children have been located and are safe, according to police. Austin Police referred to Machado-Hernandez as the "common-law husband" of Anseume-Corredor in a news release. Two of the children of Anseume-Corredor's are fathered by Machado-Hernandez. The two still lived together, according to detectives.
"We have a coward who killed the mother of his children and left three children motherless," said Austin Police Chief Lisa Davis in a press conference.
Machado-Hernandez was found hiding in his brother's black Kia SUV after attempting to evade police by changing cars. Police considered him "armed and dangerous" while searching for him.
Currently, Machado-Hernandez is being held in Travis County Jail on a $2 million bail. The homicides committed by Machado-Hernandez are considered the 51st and 52nd of 2024 in Austin.
The Austin Police Department did not respond to Planet Chronicle Digital's inquiry about Machado-Hernandez' immigration status.
