Man Found Dead With Gunshot Wound In New Braunfels House Fire

Authorities in New Braunfels are investigating the death of Kennedy Miguel Herrejon, 37, who was found dead with an apparent gunshot wound and burn injuries inside a two-story home that caught fire Monday afternoon. Firefighters responded to the 2600 block of McCrae around 2:30 p.m. and initially attempted an internal attack, but were forced outside due to intense flames and smoke. After extinguishing the fire, they discovered Herrejon's body and preliminary evidence indicating the fire was intentionally set. Residents of the home were not present when firefighters arrived but returned while crews battled the blaze. Both the New Braunfels Police Department and Fire Marshal’s Office, with assistance from the State Fire Marshal, are conducting ongoing investigations, and an autopsy is pending to confirm the exact cause of death. No suspects or arrests have been announced, and no other injuries were reported.
