Kyle man arrested, charged with murder in Austin fentanyl-related death investigation
HAYS COUNTY, Texas (KXAN) — A Kyle man was arrested and charged with murder Tuesday following an investigation into a fentanyl-related death that occurred in December 2024. According to the Hays County Sheriff's Office, 28-year-old Alan Steve Rodriguez was charged in connection with the death of a 50-year-old man found at an apartment complex in Austin. HCSO said deputies responded to a call in the 700 block of Trinity Hills Drive on Dec. 31 and found the 50-year-old man unresponsive. He was later pronounced dead at the scene. 'A preliminary investigation conducted by the HCSO Criminal Investigations Division determined that the death was related to the use of fentanyl,' HCSO said. The suspected fentanyl distributor was identified as Rodriguez, according to HCSO's Repeat Offender Program. 'A parallel narcotics investigation into Rodriguez led to the seizure of fentanyl, cocaine, THC, marijuana and multiple firearms,' HCSO said. Rodriguez remains in custody at the Hays County Jail on six charges and a total bond of $777,000, including $500,000 for the murder charge. 'This case reflects the Hays County Sheriff's Office's continued commitment to holding drug dealers accountable for the devastating consequences of fentanyl distribution in our community,' HCSO said.
