According to Hays County Sheriff's Office...

One of the suspects initially thought to be involved in the incident has been cleared.

As detectives completed their on-scene investigation and conducted interviews, it was found that the subject initially identified as a suspect in this incident was NOT involved in the burglary and will not be charged.

Jared Zavala was in the area but was NOT involved in the reported incident.

It was verified that Mr. Zavala has no association with the other two subjects.

It is believed that the home-owner actually observed only two subjects and misidentified that a third person was involved.

Witnesses on scene have confirmed the information.

The two involved individuals have been arrested.
