which happened just before 11 p.m. on Sunday in the 400 block of Historic Old Highway 90<\/a>. <\/p>\nThe affidavit identified the victim as Julio Cesar Martinez Padron, 59.<\/p>\n
San Antonio police officers found Padron unconscious outside of his vehicle with several gunshot wounds to his head. He was pronounced dead on Monday, according to the affidavit.<\/p>\n
Witnesses told investigators that Espinoza and Padron began arguing inside the bar earlier Sunday night and were later separated. <\/p>\n
Both men exited the bar, with Espinoza going to his vehicle and retrieving a handgun. He then returned to Padron, who was inside his vehicle, allegedly saying, \u201cI got you now,\u201d before firing the weapon multiple times, the affidavit stated.<\/p>\n
Espinoza fled from the scene after the shooting, documents show. <\/p>\n
One witness later identified Espinoza in a photo lineup. Another witness, according to the affidavit, provided investigators a partial license plate number from Espinoza\u2019s vehicle.<\/p>\n
As Espinoza drove away from the scene, investigators wrote that a responding SAPD officer\u2019s ALPR (Automated License Plate Recognition) camera captured the vehicle. <\/p>\n
Investigators reviewed surveillance footage from the scene, which showed both men arguing. The footage also showed the first witness following the men outside and seeing Espinoza grab the gun from his vehicle, the affidavit states. <\/p>\n
The footage also showed the second witness moving as Espinoza fled from the scene in his vehicle outside the bar when the shooting took place. <\/p>\n
The affidavit did not detail when or where Espinoza was taken into custody. <\/p>\n
