Tyler Roenz, the son, was driving the Mazda 3 that fled from an attempted traffic stop on Interstate 80 near Grand Island, as CrimeOnline previously reported.

KHOU reported that a Nebraska State trooper spotted the Mazda 3 about 15 minutes after receiving a report that it may be connected to a homicide. Tyler Roenz led troopers in a high-speed chase for about 9 before he hit the back of a semi-truck, went off the road, and smashed into a tree.
Former classmates of the teen told the station they were surprised, KTRK reported.
“I didn’t know the Tyler I knew would end up doing something this crazy,” said a classmate who chose to remain anonymous. She said she used to work with him at a movie theater and was told by others “to be careful around him, but they didn’t specify why.”
Before the boy abruptly left Humble ISD in 2021, another classmate remembered him as “a cross-country star” there.
The student remarked, “He was incredibly sweet.
In a case involving an attempted sexual assault from March 2022, Tyler Roenz was free on bond. He was accused of assaulting an 18-year-old woman in his car, kicking her in the face, and taking off her clothes.
He has not yet been taken back to Texas, so it is unclear exactly what accusations he will be facing there.
