A man is accused of robbing another man before fatally shooting him on the East Side earlier this year, according to an arrest affidavit. Angel Puente, 20, is accused of capital murder by terror threat/other felony in the shooting death of Jon Perez, 26.

Investigation Details

On the morning of Feb. 8, officers found Perez with gunshot wounds to his upper body in the back of an after-hours bar in the 1600 block of Rigsby Avenue, near Elgin Avenue. Perez was pronounced dead at the scene. San Antonio police previously said five people fled in two vehicles after the shooting.

Investigators determined there were multiple witnesses and suspects involved. Authorities obtained multiple videos from the bar, including one that showed the suspects arriving around 4:30 a.m. the day of the shooting. A witness who was at the bar with Perez said their group was approached by the suspects, who acted friendly. After their interaction, the suspects went back to their table, and Perez’s group started to leave.

As Perez was leaving, the affidavit states witnesses saw multiple people assault him and one person shoot him multiple times. Other witnesses told police Perez had necklaces on before the assault, which were missing after the shooting. Witnesses told police Perez was not involved in any disturbance with the suspects before the shooting.

Multiple people identified Puente as the one who pulled the trigger, the affidavit states. One witness said Puente was bragging about robbing and shooting Perez. While speaking with investigators, Puente said he was at work during the time of the murder. Investigators showed Puente videos they obtained of him at different locations before and after the shooting, which he acknowledged were of him.

Puente was booked into the Bexar County Adult Detention Center on Monday, jail records show.
