Anthony Tigre Guzman spent 10 years serving the people of Kyle, Texas, wearing a police badge and responding to situations where others needed help. But early Sunday morning, November 8, 2026, the longtime police sergeant lost his life in a rollover crash in Comal County. He was 34.
Guzman was one of two people killed when a white Ford F-250 overturned on Farm-to-Market Road 1102, just south of Winding Way. The other victim was identified as 28-year-old Skylar Brianna Arroyo. Both were residents of New Braunfels, Texas.
According to preliminary findings from the Texas Department of Public Safety, the pickup was traveling north on FM 1102 when it veered off the right side of the roadway. The driver reportedly overcorrected to the left, causing the truck to slide sideways, leave the road and overturn.
The crash happened shortly before 1 a.m. Troopers responded to the scene at approximately 12:48 a.m. Both Guzman and Arroyo were ejected from the vehicle and pronounced dead at the scene.
Four other people were injured. The driver was transported to a medical facility in San Antonio and remained in critical condition. Three other passengers were also taken to medical facilities for treatment. Two of the injured passengers were identified by the Kyle Police Department as members of its department.
For the Kyle Police Department, Guzman’s death means losing an officer who had dedicated a decade of his life to public service. His career included several recognitions for his work, including a Meritorious Conduct Award and the department’s Chief’s Guiding Light Award. The latter recognized his leadership, positive influence on department culture and work in helping establish the Gang Unit.
His colleagues had also recognized him for his leadership and the support he offered other officers. His work went beyond routine police duties, extending into training, investigations and efforts to strengthen the department.
The loss has left his fellow officers facing a difficult period as they remember someone who spent 10 years working alongside them. For his family, friends and colleagues, the news marks the end of a life that still had many years ahead of it.
The circumstances surrounding the crash remain under investigation by the Texas Department of Public Safety. Authorities have not released further details about the events leading up to the pickup leaving the roadway.
Anthony Guzman will be remembered not only as a police sergeant but also as a man who dedicated 10 years to serving his community. His career, the recognition he earned and the people he worked alongside remain part of the story he leaves behind.
Rest in peace, Sergeant Anthony Tigre Guzman.
