Rene Carlos Galan, a 37-year-old Hispanic man from San Antonio, Texas, was found shot to death in his recliner at his home on Hallmark Path near Pleasanton Road on May 2, 2021. The Medical Examiner ruled the manner of death homicide, listing multiple gunshot wounds as the cause of death.

According to the arrest affidavit, 21-year-old Xavier Arteaga and a woman named Corinna Rodriguez visited Galan’s home on May 1, 2021, to hang out and returned the next day. An argument about a black Hummer parked outside escalated, and Arteaga allegedly opened fire on Galan. Witnesses reported Arteaga threatened them afterward, saying not to call police and claiming Galan had shot him first. Arteaga was arrested and charged in connection with the killing; his bond was set at $250,000.

Galan was remembered by family and friends as caring and humorous. Does anyone have information about the events at the house on May 1–2, 2021, or about the people who were there that weekend?
