A Georgetown teen is in custody following a drive-by shooting that occurred earlier this month in Round Rock.
On Friday, January 16, 17-year-old Joseph Benjamin Alvarado was arrested and charged with Deadly Conduct – Discharge of a Firearm, a third-degree felony.
Alvarado is accused of firing multiple rounds at a residence in the 1400 block of Meadows Drive on the night of January 7. During the investigation, officers determined that bullets struck both a home and a vehicle parked in the driveway. No injuries were reported.
Alvarado was apprehended by the U.S. Marshals Lone Star Fugitive Task Force and booked into the Williamson County Jail.
The Round Rock Police Department would like to thank the U.S. Marshals Service and the Williamson County District Attorney’s Office for their collaborative assistance.
This case remains under investigation, and anyone with additional information is asked to contact the Round Rock Police Department at 512-218-5500.

From serving his country to serving this community, today we celebrated the retirement of Sergeant Chris Wilson after 25 years of distinguished service with the Round Rock Police Department.
Throughout his career, Sergeant Wilson served in Patrol while also holding assignments in multiple specialized units, including the K9 Unit, Criminal Interdiction Unit, and the SWAT team, where he served as an entry man, less-lethal instructor, sniper, and sniper team leader.
Before joining RRPD, Sergeant Wilson honorably served 25 years in the United States Army and Army Reserves, including 10 years on active duty as a Military Police Officer, where he held leadership roles as a Drill Sergeant, Company First Sergeant, and Battalion Operations Noncommissioned Officer (NCO).
Chris, thank you for your decades of service, leadership, and dedication to our department and community. We wish you all the best in this next chapter.
