SAN ANTONIO \u2013 After several days of testimony, a Bexar County jury found a murder suspect not guilty on Friday. <\/p>\n
Jurors reached the not-guilty verdict for Daniel Gonzalez in Bexar County\u2019s 399th Criminal District Court. <\/p>\n
Gonzalez was previously accused of murder in connection with the death of Donnell Sterling in October 2024 at Victoria Plaza, a downtown apartment complex. <\/p>\n
According to the Bexar County Medical Examiner\u2019s Office, Sterling died from a gunshot wound to the head.<\/p>\n
Gonzalez originally faced up to life in prison if he was found guilty. Now, however, he is no longer accused in Sterling\u2019s death. <\/p>\n
Court records show Gonzalez will remain behind bars while awaiting trial in a separate murder that happened at the same apartment complex. As of Friday, that case has not been scheduled for trial.<\/p>\n
BACKGROUND:<\/p>\n
San Antonio police officers said they found Sterling dead inside his apartment. <\/p>\n
The Bexar County Medical Examiner\u2019s Office determined he died from a gunshot wound to the head.<\/p>\n
Gonzalez\u2019s defense attorneys challenged the state\u2019s case, arguing no eyewitness saw Gonzalez shoot Sterling, that Gonzalez\u2019s DNA was not found at the crime scene, and that another person may be responsible.<\/p>\n
