Charles Wesley Wes Kalisek Jr., 43, was killed in Gonzales on October 5, 2025. Officers were dispatched about 5:45 a.m. to the 500 block of St. Vincent Street after shots were reported. Two men were found with multiple gunshot wounds; Kalisek died at the scene and a second victim, a 40-year-old man, was airlifted to a San Antonio hospital.

By October 7, police had arrested 18-year-old Miguel Vasquez, who was booked into the Gonzales County jail on charges of murder and aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. The Gonzales Police Department, the Gonzales County Sheriff’s Office and the Texas Rangers are involved in the investigation. Authorities have not publicly released a motive.

Kalisek was a lifelong Gonzales resident and community member; friends and family have been preparing obituaries and memorials. Does anyone have information about what happened on St. Vincent Street that morning or knew Kalisek and can share details?
