SAN ANTONIO – The 18-year-old shot and killed early Tuesday morning on the North Side has been identified, according to the Bexar County Medical Examiner’s office.
Richard David-Renea Rodriguez’s death was ruled a homicide after he was shot in the torso around 2:20 a.m. in the 500 block of Carmel Place, not far from West Olmos Drive.
Reaux Rudolph, 19, was taken into custody Tuesday morning on a murder charge, according to Bexar County jail records.

An arrest warrant affidavit states that a black BMW SUV pulled up to a house on Carmel Place, and Rudolph exited the vehicle to meet two males outside.
Video cameras showed Rudolph holding up a gun and attempting to rob the two males, the affidavit states. Gunfire was exchanged, and Rodriguez was shot as he was getting out of the BMW.
“There was a lot of gunfire. At first, it was just a couple of shots, and then just full-on spray,” neighbor Rosaura Luna said. “You could hear the bullets whizzing by. It was pretty close.”
Rodriguez was taken to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
The affidavit states Rudolph ran off while the two males retreated inside the home on Carmel Place.
