Serna and his wife were initially interviewed as witnesses, according to an arrest warrant affidavit obtained by KSAT.

A single 9mm caliber bullet was recovered during Banales’ autopsy, which, after an analysis, was revealed to be from a .38 caliber firearm, the affidavit said. The wife suggested they turn around and check on Banales. When asked by Selma police what he witnessed, Serna said that “he did not see anything,” indicating his wife “witnessed everything,” the affidavit said.

On July 23, 2024, Texas Rangers and Selma police officers interviewed Serna’s wife again. The wife said she and Serna, who were at this point now separated, had been at the movies on the night of April 15. Afterward, she said they began driving north on Interstate 35.
