A serious incident unfolded at a U.S. Border Patrol checkpoint on August 1, 2023, involving a man from Katy,
Texas, who was attempting to evade law enforcement. The man, identified as 26-year-old Kevin Dominguez,
approached the checkpoint on U.S. Highway 57, where officers were conducting routine inspections.
His behavior and the circumstances of his approach quickly escalated what should have been a standard stop into a dangerous encounter.
During the approach, a trained U.S. Border Patrol canine detected movement coming from the trunk of
Dominguez’s sedan. This alert indicated the likely presence of a concealed individual, prompting
agents to prepare to investigate further. Dominguez was instructed to stop, and the situation immediately intensified when the trunk was found to contain another person.
