Texas Man Faces Assault Charge for Alleged Attack on Mother

A 21-year-old from Texas, identified as Galveston Elijah Vriseno, has been charged with aggravated assault following an alleged stabbing incident involving his mother in a Waco Target store. He is currently held on a $100,000 bond, according to reports.

Incident Overview

The incident took place on Sunday, November 8, when police were called to the Target store around 2:20 p.m. Initial reports suggested a domestic disturbance. Upon arrival, officers found a woman, later identified as Vriseno’s 43-year-old mother, who had suffered a stab wound to the neck. She was found near a pool of blood and was unable to speak. Bystanders assisted her until help arrived, providing police with a description of the suspect’s clothing.

Details of the Alleged Attack

Security footage reportedly showed Vriseno and his mother near the optical section of the store where he allegedly attacked her with a knife. After committing the act, Vriseno fled the scene. Vriseno later contacted the police himself. Officers located him at a nearby Jack in the Box restaurant around 4 p.m. He wore clothing matching the description given by witnesses and was allegedly trying to discard items and clean blood from his hands. When questioned by officers about a knife in his front pocket, Vriseno acknowledged its use in the attack.

Motivation and Arrest

According to an affidavit, two days prior to the attack, Vriseno reportedly made threats against his family, claiming the Illuminati instructed him to harm them. His sister informed the police of these comments. Following his mother’s transport to a local hospital for surgery, she is reported to be in stable condition.

Vriseno now faces a charge of aggravated assault and is in custody at McLennan County Jail.

Authorities continue their investigation, and further details are awaited regarding this case.
