Arrest made in murder case

SAN ANTONIO --A man accused of ambushing an illegal gambling hall and killing someone inside is now in custody. 

The Bexar County Sheriff's Office says that on January 27, 46-year-old Ramon Salazar Jr. fatally shot a man several times in a mobile home that was converted into an eight liner game room in the southwest part of the county. They say Salazar Jr. and another masked man got away but they were able to capture the two on surveillance video.

After releasing the footage, tips poured in from the public. 

"The Sheriff's Office would really like to thank the public, because this is obviously a very dangerous individual that otherwise would be on the streets right now," said Rosanne Hughes, a BCSO spokesperson.

Salazar Jr. will be facing a capital murder charge. Hughes said more arrests are expected.
