One dead, two injured in overnight Alice shooting

A Benavides woman is dead, and two Alice men are in critical condition at a Corpus Christi Hospital following an overnight shooting in Alice.

Police were called to the 1000 block of North Wright Street around 1 a.m., where they found the three adults had been shot.

Alice Police Chief Eden Garcia said the woman, Kirsten Saenz, was shot in the head. Saenz was in her early 30s and a mother of three.

Josue Worsham and Luis Gonzalez were also shot. Both men are from Alice and are in their early 20s.

Garcia said the three victims were hanging out at the residence when alleged suspects – Matthew Garcia and another unnamed man – pulled up through the residence through the alley and began shooting.

Chief Garcia said they are actively looking for the two men. Both of the men have criminal backgrounds.

Matthew Garcia was arrested in connection to a deadly shooting at the 1000 block of North Wright Street at approximately 1 a.m. Wednesday morning.

Officers arrested Garcia Wednesday afternoon in Kingsville without incident.

In December 2023, Matthew Garcia was arrested by the department.
