Denton, Texas, native and Ryan High School coach, Aaron De La Torre has reportedly passed away following assault accusation. On Saturday, September 28, 2024, a video had circulated on social media, where a man was said to have been beating up a minor.
The Hickory Creek Police Department Officers responded to a 911 call and a potential disturbance at the RaceTrac Gas Station (4320 FM 2181, Hickory Creek, TX 75065) at approximately 1838 hours, according to the police. The parties involved had relocated to the RaceTrac from the original location (Wal-Mart, 1035 Hickory Creek Blvd, Hickory Creek, TX). Before the officers arrived, one individual who was involved in the incident departed the location.
Upon their arrival at the site, the officers observed a number of individuals who reported that an adult male subject had assaulted a juvenile male who was 12 years old. The incident was also being recorded by numerous witnesses using personal recording devices. The witnesses were located and interviewed by the officers, who received conflicting statements regarding the incident. The preliminary investigation was initiated by the officers after they conversed with the individuals who were directly involved. The preliminary investigation conducted at the scene indicated that there was insufficient probable cause to conduct an on-site arrest.
There were no immediately apparent indications of assault, injury, or any other evidence that would suggest that an offence had taken place. Given the information available at the time, the parents of the juveniles were summoned to the scene and their children were released to them.
