fatally stabbed<\/a> over the weekend. His wife, Rosanna Perez, said they were leaving a party at El Flaco Event Center when they saw a fight break out. Perez said her husband tried to stop it.<\/p>\nThe New Braunfels Police Department arrested David Saldana, 55, and charged him with murder. Authorities told KSAT that David Saldana and Mario Saldana are not related.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe tried to separate people, and I guess they got angry,\u201d Perez said. \u201cNext thing, he stabbed him. This was something that didn\u2019t need to happen.\u201d<\/p>\n
Perez said family meant everything to Mario Saldana, and that\u2019s why she wants to give him a \u201cproper burial.\u201d They are currently fundraising online to raise enough money to have a funeral.<\/p>\n
Mario Saldana\u2019s family in Seguin will hold a plate sale at 6 p.m. on Friday outside the AutoZone at 725 East Court Street.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat was the love of my life,\u201d Perez said. \u201cHe still is the love of my life, and now he\u2019s dead.\u201d<\/p>\n
David Saldana was booked into the Comal County Jail over the weekend. His bond was set at $500,000.<\/p>\n
