As she was going to bed she noticed that the victim was sitting on a chair bleeding from the side of his head.

The woman told police she rushed to help and noticed that neither Teran nor his vehicle were at the home.

Officers searched the area for Teran and his vehicle but were unable to locate him.

The victim, who was conscious when police arrived, was transported to the hospital with a gunshot wound to the left side of his head.

On Monday, U.S. Customs and Border Protection Agents notified the Brownsville Police Department that Teran was detained at the Gateway International Bridge.

Teran was transported to Brownsville City Jail and booked for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, a 2nd-degree felony.

Teran was arraigned on Monday and issued a $250,000 bond.

The victim remains in stable condition, police say.
