Police had released a description of Symon earlier Monday, noting that Symon was traveling southbound away from the area near the homicide. At that time, the public was advised to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activity.

According to Hays County Jail Records, Symon is now charged with murder- felony 1 and has a surety/ cash bond of $500,000. He is currently being held in the Hays County Jail.
