Albert Pelayo Casoreno, 41, was shot and later died from his injuries after an August 7, 2022, attack near a dumpster in the 7100 block of U.S. Highway 90 West in San Antonio. The shooting followed an earlier confrontation in a restaurant drive-thru where Casoreno reportedly approached and repeatedly asked a teenager for money. That teenager, 18-year-old Julio Cesar Ramirez, told a witness he felt very disrespected and later said he went to the area with the intention of confronting Casoreno.

Video from a nearby VIA transit center shows a van and captures Ramirez shooting Casoreno, who tried to run away. Investigators found two 9mm spent shell casings by the dumpster; Casoreno was taken to a hospital and died of his wounds. A tip to police on September 12 reported Ramirez’s confession; a warrant for his arrest was issued and he was arrested on February 1, 2023. Ramirez is held in Bexar County Jail on $200,000 bond and faces murder charges.

Are there witnesses who were in the area that evening or anyone who recognizes the van seen in the transit center footage?
