SAN ANTONIO -A second arrest has been made in connection with the death of a man who was found shot to death on the city\u2019s Southeast Side.<\/p>\n

Amanda Ann Garza is accused of taking part in the kidnapping of Jaime Aldofo Rodriguez, whose body was found along New Sulphur Springs Road on Sept. 6.<\/p>\n

Rodriguez had been shot in the upper chest. He also had injuries to his head and face, along with several broken ribs, according to the arrest report. <\/p>\n

Garza\u2019s arrest comes days after Francisco Garza was arrested for not reporting the attack and abduction<\/a>. He had told investigators he witnessed what happened, but did not call for help because he was scared and did not think Rodriguez would be killed.<\/p>\n

Investigators say Rodriguez was last seen early Sept. 5 after driving to a home near Rivas Street. Surveillance video reportedly shows several people confronting and attacking him outside the home.<\/p>\n

Rodriguez tried to run away while wearing only a T-shirt and underwear, but investigators say two men with guns caught him and brought him back. He was then forced into the back of a white SUV, which drove away. His rental car followed behind it.<\/p>\n

The affidavit says Amanda Garza was among the people involved. Investigators matched her clothing and arm tattoos to a woman seen in surveillance video. Doorbell footage from her home also showed her wearing similar clothing the night before Rodriguez disappeared.<\/p>\n

She is charged with aggravated kidnapping with a deadly weapon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"SAN ANTONIO -A second arrest has been made in connection with the death of a man who was…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":444217,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[82,84,83],"class_list":["post-444216","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-san-antonio","tag-san-antonio","tag-san-antonio-headlines","tag-san-antonio-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/444216","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=444216"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/444216\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/444217"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=444216"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=444216"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=444216"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
