(Copyright 2026 by KSAT &#8211; All rights reserved.)<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-dLMFU sc-fHjqPf jbiTJv kYFPaL article-text\">A man\u2019s decomposed body was found on Aug. 26, 2026, in a field in the 8500 block of Hildebrandt Road. <\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-dLMFU sc-fHjqPf jbiTJv kYFPaL article-text\">People outside cutting grass told deputies about the man, later identified as 37-year-old Edward Eugene Finex, in the field. <\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-dLMFU sc-fHjqPf jbiTJv kYFPaL article-text\">Authorities later collected debris at the scene after the Bexar County Medical Examiner\u2019s Office determined there was a collision that led to Finex\u2019s death. <\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-dLMFU sc-fHjqPf jbiTJv kYFPaL article-text\">The sheriff\u2019s office matched the debris to a Ford F-150 between 2004 and 2008. Investigators identified matching vehicles through surveillance footage. <\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-dLMFU sc-fHjqPf jbiTJv kYFPaL article-text\">Authorities also obtained a license plate number from the cameras in other law enforcement vehicles, the spokesperson said. <\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-dLMFU sc-fHjqPf jbiTJv kYFPaL article-text\">Deputies attempted to locate an F-150 on Friday to see if there was damage to it. The truck\u2019s registered owner told investigators that he had already sold the vehicle, the spokesperson said. <\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-dLMFU sc-fHjqPf jbiTJv kYFPaL article-text\">The registered owner provided BCSO with information that led to Pina\u2019s arrest, according to the spokesperson. <\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-dLMFU sc-fHjqPf jbiTJv kYFPaL article-text\">Pina told BCSO that he was traveling home and thought he had hit an animal, the sheriff\u2019s office said. He later returned to the crash scene and said he did not find anything. <\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-dLMFU sc-fHjqPf jbiTJv kYFPaL article-text\">Pina did not take any further action, failing to report the incident, according to the sheriff\u2019s office. <\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-dLMFU sc-fHjqPf jbiTJv kYFPaL article-text\">Read also:<\/p>\n<p>Copyright 2026 by KSAT &#8211; All rights reserved.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"BEXAR COUNTY, Texas \u2013 A man was arrested Friday in connection with a deadly hit-and-run investigation in southeast&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":433868,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[4755,294,82,84,83,4668],"class_list":["post-433867","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-san-antonio","tag-bcso","tag-crime","tag-san-antonio","tag-san-antonio-headlines","tag-san-antonio-news","tag-southeast-side"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/433867","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=433867"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/433867\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/433868"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=433867"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=433867"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=433867"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
