Manhunt for wanted murder suspect ends near San Antonio, authorities say

The Medina County Sheriff’s Office said Naudy Hernandez Perez, 25, was wanted for murder out of Dallas County.

SAN ANTONIO — A manhunt out of Dallas ends just southwest of San Antonio early Friday morning.

Naudy Hernandez Perez, 25, was found among brush all the way in Devine, Texas near I-35 around midnight.

The Medina County Sheriff’s Office said Perez was wanted for murder out of Dallas County.

He is allegedly connected to a deadly shooting outside of a Dallas home Tuesday.

Police had initially responded to a shooting shortly after 7 p.m. Tuesday and said they found Maikal Izaipe, 25, shot outside a home. 

Izaipe died at the scene, according to police.

Investigators identified Hernandez Perez as a suspect, and a warrant was issued for his arrest, according to a news release.

Police believe Hernandez Perez shot Izaipe after the two got into a fight and fled the area in a blue Honda. Police said the two men knew each other. 

Hernandez Perez was taken into custody shortly after being found in Devine. 

This operation included assistance from the Hondo Police Department, Texas DPS, Frio County, Border Patrol, Devine Police Department, and the San Antonio Police Department.
