SAN ANGELO, TX – A San Angelo man has been indicted by a Tom Green County grand jury in December for attempted Murder.

According to court documents, during the December indictments, a Tom Green County grand jury indicted Jake Gonzales, 37, for the attempted murder of Andrew Jones on March 5, 2017.
