Eagle Pass Man Arrested for Allegedly Assaulting His Mother in Domestic Violence Incident
EAGLE PASS, TX — The Eagle Pass Police Department has arrested 30-year-old Ramon Abelardo Salinas in connection with a disturbing domestic violence case involving his elderly mother. The incident occurred in the 600 block of Concho Street and has sent shockwaves through the local community.
According to a statement released by EPPD, officers responded to a domestic disturbance call and arrived on scene to find an elderly woman visibly shaken and injured. The victim told authorities that her son, Salinas, had physically assaulted her during an altercation. She reported that he struck her in the face and grabbed her by the neck — a deeply troubling and violent act that underscores the dangers of domestic abuse.
Before officers could arrive, Salinas reportedly fled the residence. However, a swift and coordinated police response led to his quick apprehension. Authorities were able to locate Salinas shortly thereafter, taking him into custody without further incident.
Salinas has since been formally charged with Injury to a Child, Elderly, or Disabled Individual — a serious offense under Texas law that reflects the vulnerability of the victim and the severity of the alleged actions. He is currently being held at the Tom Bowles Detention Center on a $20,000 bond as the investigation continues.
The Eagle Pass Police Department has reiterated its commitment to protecting victims of domestic violence and ensuring that those who commit such acts are held accountable. “This case serves as a stark reminder that no one, regardless of age, should have to endure violence in their own home,” said a spokesperson for the department.
Community advocates are encouraging anyone experiencing domestic violence or who suspects someone may be in danger to contact local authorities or domestic violence hotlines for support. This tragic event sheds light on the ongoing need for vigilance, awareness, and support for those at risk — especially the elderly, who are often among the most defenseless members of society.
For now, the investigation into the incident remains ongoing. More details may be released as the legal process unfolds. Anyone with additional information regarding the case is encouraged to contact the Eagle Pass Police Department.
