LEON VALLEY, Texas \u2013 A man was arrested in a traffic stop on Thursday in connection with the murder of a teenager more than five years ago, according to the Leon Valley Police Department. <\/p>\n
The suspect was taken into custody without further incident off the State Highway 151 access road, located south of Southwest Military Drive, police said. <\/p>\n
San Antonio police officers assisted the Leon Valley Police Department in the arrest. <\/p>\n
Officers stated that the man is accused in the murder of Erick Torres, 17, which happened on April 21, 2021, in the 7200 block of Huebner Road. <\/p>\n
The suspect, who has yet to be identified, was in an SUV when he allegedly opened fire on a Ford Taurus. <\/p>\n
The gunfire hit two people inside the Taurus, including Torres, who later died from his injuries, police said. <\/p>\n
The second person injured in the shooting was grazed by a bullet and then ran away to receive assistance, according to Leon Valley PD. <\/p>\n
A third vehicle, which was similar to the Taurus, was possibly involved in a road rage incident with the suspect\u2019s vehicle before the gunfire, investigators believe. <\/p>\n
