SAN ANTONIO — A man who was shot on the city's west side died on the way to the hospital, the San Antonio Police Department said.
The shooting happened on Monday afternoon on Morales and 26th Street.
Police said the man, who was in his 20s, was shot twice in the back. He was outside his home when he was shot.
A report later obtained by KENS 5 reveals two people were arrested: Gilbert Torres and Stephanie Zaragosa, who are believed to have been involved in the murder of the victim, Mario Alvarez.
On September 9, Torres and Zaragosa were arrested by SAPD on unrelated warrants. When detectives interviewed Zaragosa, she stated Torres was the person who shot and killed Alvarez. However, when Torres was interviewed, he refused to speak and asked for an attorney.
Detectives say Zaragosa was dishonest initially but eventually admitted to driving the suspect's vehicle when Alvarez was shot, according to the release.
Investigators now believe that Zaragosa drove Torres's vehicle to Alvarez's house and signaled him by hand to come to the vehicle as she was driving. Torres was hiding in the back seat behind tinted windows.
As Alvarez got close to the vehicle, Torres rolled the rear window down and shot him multiple times.
