SAN ANTONIO — A man who was shot and killed at a La Quinta Inn overnight has been identified as U.S. Border Patrol Agent, Jon Marburger, officials with the Medical Examiner's Office confirm.
Marburger was assigned to the Del Rio Station and was on the job for 21 years, according to an official with the CBP.
The suspect in Marburger's death is his wife, Sherry Marburger. She was been arrested and charged with 1st Degree Murder.
According to preliminary information, Marburger called the police and told them that she had shot her husband in the chest for cheating and that he was still breathing and the weapon was on the bed.
The San Antonio Fire Department responded to reports of a shooting at 8:22 a.m. in the 1000 block of North Loop 1604 at a La Quinta Inn near Hollywood Park.
San Antonio Police Department Public Information Officer Alisia Pruneda said a woman in her 40s was detained, later identified as Marburger's wife, accused of shooting Marburger in one of the inn's rooms.

Marburger was taken to University Hospital where he later died, police said.
So far, no witnesses have come forward, SAPD said.
