SAN ANTONIO \u2013 A man was charged with capital murder following a shooting Saturday afternoon on the Southwest Side<\/a>, according to an affidavit obtained by KSAT.<\/p>\n

Augustin Meyer, 53, was arrested and charged with capital murder in connection with the death of 59-year-old Juan Alejandro Sanchez, the affidavit said.<\/p>\n

The shooting occurred about 1:30 p.m. Saturday at a warehouse and office building in the 300 block of North Frank Luke Drive.<\/p>\n

Sanchez was found in the office portion of the building with a gunshot wound to the chest, the affidavit said. He was pronounced dead at the scene.<\/p>\n

Officers arrived after a 911 caller reported hearing a male in distress and what sounded like a gunshot, the affidavit states.<\/p>\n

Investigators say surveillance video showed only Sanchez and Meyer at the location at the time of the shooting.<\/p>\n

A revolver was recovered under a blue bandanna in the warehouse, and the affidavit states Meyer was seen wearing the blue bandanna in surveillance footage.<\/p>\n

The gun was not found near the victim, according to the affidavit.<\/p>\n

Detectives also say Sanchez\u2019s smartwatch was found in Meyer\u2019s pants pocket, and the victim\u2019s wallet was found scattered about the warehouse.<\/p>\n

Meyer told detectives he did not know Sanchez, but that Sanchez had picked him up to help load tools into a truck, according to the affidavit.<\/p>\n

Meyer also claimed Sanchez told him to shoot him because of a large insurance policy, the affidavit said. Detectives spoke with Sanchez\u2019s family, who said Sanchez only had an insurance policy through his employer, the affidavit states.<\/p>\n
