The police account
Angel Puente, 20 at the time of the report, was booked into the Bexar County Adult Detention Center in connection with the fatal shooting of 26-year-old Jon Perez, according to the arrest affidavit described in our reporting. The booking record lists confinement on June 8, 2026.
Police said Perez was found shot in the upper body on February 8 behind an after-hours bar in the 1600 block of Rigsby Avenue and died at the scene.
Investigators said witnesses reported Perez was assaulted and robbed before being shot. The affidavit states that witnesses identified Puente as the shooter and that one witness alleged he later spoke about the robbery and shooting.
According to the affidavit account, Puente told police he was at work during the killing. Investigators said video evidence placed him at locations before and after the shooting. These are competing statements described in the investigation; publication of the police account does not resolve them.
The charge in the booking record
The record lists CAPITAL MURDER BY TERROR THREAT/OTHER FELONY under case number 2026PF23989, assigned to Criminal District Court. It lists February 8 as the offense date and June 8 as the confinement date. The article’s publication date is separate from both events.
The charge is an allegation. Puente is presumed innocent unless proven guilty. No later court outcome is established by the records described in this report.
