Yorktown Shooting Suspect Sentenced to 45 Years in State Prison

by Trisha Garcia | November 9, 2025

Cuero, TX — A DeWitt County jury delivered swift justice this week in the case of Cody Allen Eggemeyer, the Yorktown man arrested in connection with a violent 2023 shooting and high-speed chase. The criminal case was set for trial on November 3, 2025, and proceeded before a jury in the 24th Judicial District Court. After just over an hour of deliberation, jurors returned guilty verdicts on all counts, including Aggravated Assault with a Deadly Weapon causing Serious Bodily Injury, Unlawful Possession of a Firearm by a Felon, and Evading Arrest or Detention in a Motor Vehicle—each enhanced as habitual felonies.

With assistance from the U.S. Marshals’ Apprehension Unit, Eggemeyer was located and arrested on October 18, 2023. He was booked into custody on multiple felony warrants, including attempted murder, unlawful possession of a firearm, unauthorized use of a motor vehicle, and evading arrest.

The case was prosecuted by District Attorney Brian Michael Cromeens, who took office in January 2025 and now leads the 24th Judicial District. Prosecutors presented evidence of Eggemeyer’s violent history and prior convictions, qualifying him for habitual felony enhancement.

On Thursday, Judge Kemper Stephen Williams imposed the following sentences:

  • 45 years in the Texas Department of Criminal Justice for Aggravated Assault
  • 25 years for Unlawful Possession of a Firearm
  • 25 years for Evading Arrest in a Motor Vehicle

All sentences will run concurrently, meaning Eggemeyer will serve 45 years total.

The case marks a decisive moment for the 24th Judicial District, reinforcing its commitment to public safety and accountability in DeWitt County.

Westhoff Students Join American Legion Auxiliary to Honor Veterans

By Trisha Garcia | November 9, 2025

WESTHOFF –  On November 5, a quiet but powerful act of remembrance unfolded in Westhoff as local 6th–8th grade students joined members of the Westhoff American Legion Ladies Auxiliary to place American flags on the graves of veterans who served our country.

The event, held in advance of Veterans Day, brought generations together in a shared gesture of gratitude. Students walked respectfully among the headstones, guided by Auxiliary members who offered stories and context for each name and service branch. With each flag placed, the group honored not only the individual but the legacy of service that continues to shape their community.

“This is about teaching respect, history, and pride,” said one Auxiliary member. “We want these young people to understand that freedom isn’t free—and that these flags represent real lives, real sacrifice.”

For many students, the experience was both humbling and eye-opening. Some recognized family names; others asked questions about wars and service eras. Teachers and volunteers encouraged reflection and dialogue, turning the morning into a living history lesson.

The Westhoff American Legion Ladies Auxiliary has long upheld traditions of remembrance, from Memorial Day ceremonies to care packages for active-duty service members. Their partnership with local youth is part of a broader effort to instill civic values and honor those who have served.

As the flags fluttered in the autumn breeze, the cemetery became a quiet tableau of patriotism and community connection. In a time when headlines often divide, this small-town act of unity stood as a reminder: gratitude endures, and the next generation is watching—and learning.

Young Trotters Steal Hearts at Youth Football Celebration

CUERO – Earlier this season, the Mini Trotters lit up the field with a spirited halftime performance during Youth Football Night on October 17. Trained through a special camp led by the Cuero Gobbler Trotter Dance Team, these young performers—some as young as five learned choreography, practiced with the team, and brought big energy to the field

The final rehearsal took place on Thursday, October 16, where the Mini Trotters joined the varsity Trotters for one last run-through. It was more than just a practice—it was a celebration of mentorship and community, with older students cheering on their younger counterparts and helping them polish their moves.

Their enthusiasm was contagious, and the crowd responded with loud applause. Parents, grandparents, and fans filled the stands, proud to see the next generation of Cuero spirit in action.

In addition to their performance, participants received pre-ordered T-shirts and photos—personal keepsakes that added to the excitement of the evening. The event was a standout moment in the youth football season and a powerful reminder of how early experiences in teamwork and performance can inspire lasting confidence.

The Mini Trotters’ halftime spotlight wasn’t just about dance—it was about community, tradition, and the joy of being part of something bigger. Their performance lit up the field and left a lasting impression on everyone in attendance

Bob was a kind soul and he will be missed. May he rest in peace.

Bob is survived by his sons, Jeff Mosmeyer (Savannah) and Andy Mosmeyer; his grandson that he was so proud of, Blane Mosmeyer and a new grandson on the way; sister, Shirley Ann Mudd (Jimmy); sisters-in-law, Trini Mosmeyer  and Jamie Mosmeyer; “brother by choice”, Ken Horn (Maribeth)and family; numerous nieces, nephews and extended family.

Gobblers Blaze Toward Playoffs with Eyes on District Title

🏈By SPLASH | November 7, 2025

As the 2025 Texas high school football regular season nears its close, no team is hotter than the 8–1 Cuero Gobblers, winners of two straight—including last week’s 70–20 blowout over Ingleside.

Senior standout Walter Dietze lit up the field with 10 receptions for 238 yards, anchoring a dominant offensive performance that sent a clear message: Cuero is playoff-ready.

This Friday, the Gobblers return home to face the 6–3 Robstown Cottonpickers, who limp into town on a two-game skid, including a 45–0 loss to Sinton last week. But Cuero’s focus stretches beyond the home turf—they’ll be watching the Rockport-Fulton vs. Sinton showdown at Pirates Stadium. A Sinton win would create a three-way tie atop District 15-4A Division II, with Cuero, Sinton, and Rockport-Fulton each holding just one district loss. That would crown all three as co-champions.

With a playoff berth secured two weeks ago, Cuero is using this final regular-season game to build depth and give future stars a taste of big-game energy. Five freshman standouts are expected to see action, including two-way threat HB/MLB Prince Santa Cruz, who’s already turning heads on both sides of the ball.

Quarterback Jace Guajardo will take more snaps this week, giving Jaxxon Marie a well-earned breather. Fans will remember Guajardo’s clutch performance last season when Marie was sidelined with injury—he stepped up and delivered.

The Gobblers are locked in, hungry, and ready. Friday night lights in Cuero will shine bright, but the scoreboard in Rockport may matter just as much.

Freshmen Gobblers Finish Perfect: Undefeated District Champs!

🏈BY SPLASH | November 7, 2025

Robstown, TX — The future of Cuero football looks bright. The Cuero Gobbler Freshmen capped off their season in dominant fashion Thursday night, rolling past Robstown with a 42–0 shutout to clinch an undefeated district championship.

From the opening whistle, the young Gobblers controlled the tempo, showcasing the kind of discipline, speed, and swagger that’s become a Cuero trademark. The defense was relentless—swarming the Cottonpickers, forcing turnovers, and keeping the scoreboard clean. On offense, the Gobblers moved with precision, stacking up points and chewing up clock.

This win marks the end of a perfect district run, with the freshmen squad going undefeated in 15-4A Division II play. Coaches praised the team’s growth, grit, and chemistry, noting that several players are already making waves as future varsity contributors.
Among the standouts this season:

• HB/MLB Prince Santa Cruz, a two-way threat who’s earned praise for his explosive runs and lockdown defense.
• A deep rotation of linemen and receivers who’ve built a foundation of trust and execution.
• Quarterbacks and defensive backs who’ve shown poise beyond their years.

With varsity eyes on a playoff run, the freshmen have already made their mark—a perfect season, a district title, and a promise of what’s to come.
Cuero football isn’t just strong now. It’s strong for years to come.
