A 19 year old Eagle Pass High School student, Jose Aguilar, was assaulted on Friday, April 7, 2017 at approximately 1:30 P.M. while waiting for his parents to pick him at the Second Street campus of the Eagle Pass Independent School District.

Aguilar suffered a broken jaw, requiring that he be transported to a San Antonio, Texas medical facility for treatment. Aguilar’s left jaw was broken as a result of the impact of the hard blow propounded upon him by the other student.

Alma Rodriguez, mother of Jose Aguilar, denounced the assault of her son by the juvenile student without provocation while waiting to be picked up from school.  Rodriguez stated that the Eagle Pass Independent School District Police Department has identified the juvenile assailant and that she will be pressing charges of assault against the responsible juvenile student.

Aguilar was operated in San Antonio and will have to eat liquid foods for several weeks while his broken jaw heals.

The Eagle Pass Independent School District Police Department and Eagle Pass Police Department are investigating the incident.
