U.S. Marshals and Texas<\/a> police have arrested an illegal immigrant and suspected serial killer in connection with a pair of strangling murders from 2024 and 2018 \u2014 and two more recent shootings in which female victims survived.<\/p>\n

Luis Fernando Benitez-Gonzalez, 26, is accused of killing 34-year-old Alyssa Ann Rivera, in Austin<\/a>, and 28-year-old Alba Jenisse Aviles-Marti in Bastrop County.<\/p>\n

“We believe that there is a strong likelihood that Benitez is responsible for further acts of extreme violence,” Austin Police Detective Chris Anderson said at a news briefing.<\/p>\n

He was arrested on April 27 in the Dallas area by the Lone Star Fugitive Task Force, Anderson said.<\/p>\n

The detective alleged that the evidence and Benitez-Gonzalez’s own statements show “a repeated pattern of violence conducted against vulnerable female victims<\/a>.”<\/p>\n

He said Benitez-Gonzalez may have interacted with more potential victims in Austin, Dallas, Houston and Hidalgo County.<\/p>\n

“He has a 2018 case, and he has a 2024 case,” Anderson said. “People who commit crimes of this nature, with the very distinct MO, they usually don’t take a break. Not for six years.”<\/p>\n

During the briefing, Deputy U.S. Marshal Brandon Filla revealed that Benitez-Gonzalez is a Mexican national who had previously been voluntarily deported<\/a> in 2020. It was not immediately clear when he returned to the U.S.<\/p>\n

Austin police found Rivera dead on June 21, 2024, after a resident called 911 to report seeing a body in a vacant home on Metcalfe Road. She had been beaten and strangled, police said.<\/p>\n

In 2018, Aviles-Marti had been sexually assaulted and strangled<\/a> with a seatbelt in her car, according to authorities. Bastrop County deputies responded to the scene after a driver reported seeing her car on the shoulder of San Antonio Road \u2014 just three miles from where Rivera’s remains were found six years later.<\/p>\n

Austin police announced in 2024 they had linked the two cases after investigators sent DNA evidence from each<\/a> of them to the FBI’s CODIS database. Benitez-Gonzalez, however, was not in the database, and it took another two years before he was charged.<\/p>\n

Then in November and December 2025, two women survived shooting incidents, Anderson said.<\/p>\n

One of them fought back and managed to wrestle her attacker’s phone away, he added. Ballistic evidence linked her shooting to the other victim, and ultimately to Benitez-Gonzalez in Dallas.<\/p>\n

Anderson and another detective interrogated him.<\/p>\n

“During that interview, he made admissions related to both aggravated assaults and the 2024 homicide<\/a> of Alyssa Rivera and the 2018 homicide of Alba Jenisse Aviles-Marti,” he said. “Although Benitez-Gonzalez attempted to characterize his actions as self-defense, the totality of the evidence developed in this investigation does not support that claim.”<\/p>\n

Benitez-Gonzalez is being held without bail at the Travis County Jail on charges including first-degree murder and aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. Immigration and Customs Enforcement<\/a> has also filed a detainer request.<\/p>\n

Anyone with information that may be of value to investigators is asked to call the Austin Police Homicide unit at 512-974-8477 or Capital Area Crime Stoppers at 512-472-8477.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
