Retired border agent among two victims killed in Texas casino shooting incident at Eagle Pass

A retired U.S. Customs and Border Protection agent was among two victims killed in the deadly shooting at the Kickapoo Lucky Eagle Casino on Sunday, Eagle Pass Aaron Valdez confirmed on social media. 

Mayor Valdez described Marcus "Mark" Antley as a beloved member of the community and said he was remembered for his law enforcement career and impact on Eagle Pass.

"Mr. Antley dedicated much of his life to public service and law enforcement. He will be remembered not only for his career but also for his generosity, leadership, and the lasting friendships he built throughout Eagle Pass and the region. His passing leaves a deep void in the hearts of many," Valdez wrote on Facebook.

Valdez also pledged to support the grieving families of those who were injured in the attack and thanked law enforcement for their quick work capturing a suspect.

Dimmit County Judge Martha Alicia Gomez Ponce said the other victim in Sunday's shooting was a Dimmit County resident. 

"Let us come together in unity and support for the victims and their loved ones within our Dimmit County community," Ponce wrote on Facebook. "My deepest condolences go out to the families impacted by this heartbreaking event."

Authorities have since identified the suspect as Keryan Rashad Jones, 34, of San Antonio. Jones was arrested in Wilson County following a chase.

Police said Jones is currently in custody in Wilson County/Stockdale but will be extradited back to Eagle Pass, where the investigation is based.

Police say they were able to obtain confirmation through vehicle tracking and license plate recognition (LPR) systems, allowing the Texas Department of Public Safety to find the suspect. He now faces two counts of capital murder and five counts of assault with a deadly weapon.

Maverick County Judge Ramsey English Cantú praised law enforcement for their coordinated response. 

"Together, our local, state and federal partners worked around the clock to bring this individual into custody," he said. "Now, we must assure justice for the victims and their families. We will not tolerate violence in our community."

The Kickapoo Traditional Tribe of Texas Police Department is leading the investigation alongside state, local and federal agencies.

"This is a painful reminder of how fragile life is," Valdez said. "In moments like these, our community’s greatest strength is our compassion and solidarity. Together, we will overcome this dark moment."

Cowboys, Packers end classic slugfest in tie

The Dallas Cowboys and Green Bay Packers battled each other in an absolute slugfest on Sunday night, and it ended in a 40-40 tie.

The stakes were already heightened coming into AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, as Micah Parsons was making his return to play his former team. While his impact was felt, it was the offenses that really came to play.

The last two minutes of regulation underscored that.

The Cowboys needed to respond to a Packers touchdown. KaVontae Turpin returned a kickoff to near midfield. It only took four plays for Dak Prescott and the Cowboys to find the end zone. Following a 19-yard pass to Jalen Tolbert, he found George Pickens for a 28-yard touchdown.

Dallas drove 54 yards in 62 seconds to get the go-ahead score.

Green Bay was quick to get back up the field. Packers quarterback Jordan Love led the team down the field in seven plays to set up a game-tying 53-yard field goal for Brandon McManus.

In overtime, the Cowboys got the ball first. Prescott found Tolbert coming back to the ball to make an incredible catch on the sideline. Somehow, Tolbert got both of his feet in bounds to set Dallas up in the red zone. The Cowboys couldn’t get into the end zone. Parsons possibly saved a touchdown with a sack of a scrambling Prescott. It was Brandon Aubrey who hit the chip shot to go up 40-37.

It was Love’s turn to lead the charge. On third down, the Cowboys may have gotten away with a defensive pass interference call. But it didn’t deter Love. The quarterback found Matthew Golden to keep the drive alive.

The Packers nearly ran out of time to make a final throw to the end zone. But he was left with one second on the clock. McManus came onto the field to kick the game-tying field goal.

Love was 31-of-43 with 337 passing yards and three touchdown passes. Each of his touchdown passes went to Romeo Doubs. The wide receiver had six catches for 58 yards.

Josh Jacobs was a menace on the ground. He had two rushing touchdowns to go along with 86 yards on the ground. He had four catches for 71 yards as well.

The Cowboys showed that they weren’t going to roll over and let the Packers walk all over them in their house. 

First, Dallas picked up a crucial two points when they blocked a Packers extra-point attempt in the second quarter. Markquese Bell returned the ball for the two points.

Then, the Cowboys took advantage as the Green Bay offense appeared to get complacent toward the end of the first half. Cowboys linebacker James Houston caused Love to fumble. He recovered it and gave Dallas a chance to score before halftime. Prescott then found Pickens in the end zone. Dallas had a 16-13 lead at halftime.

Pickens had an incredible game for the Cowboys. He had eight catches on 11 targets for 134 yards and two touchdowns.

Prescott was 31-of-40 for 319 yards and three touchdowns. He was only sacked once.

Green Bay moved to 2-1-1 with the tie and Dallas became 1-2-1.
