Arnulfo Adrian Arnie Cortez, 35, was shot and killed on December 29, 2020, while driving home along Loop 410 on San Antonio’s Northwest side. Police say he was caught in the crossfire of a random shooting: Kevin Perez, 33, reportedly argued with his girlfriend and fired shots indiscriminately. One bullet struck Arnulfo, causing him to crash into a utility pole and a rock wall. The Bexar County Medical Examiner listed multiple gunshot wounds as the cause of death.

Perez was arrested and charged with murder; the investigation found he had a prior felony conviction and was not legally allowed to possess a firearm. Evidence-handling problems by local police limited the prosecution’s options, and Perez later pleaded no contest and received a 25-year prison sentence as part of a plea deal. Arnulfo’s family — including his mother Dalia, brother Arnold, and his fiancée Rubi Albarado — described him as a good man who had recently proposed and had plans for the future.

Does anyone have information about Arnulfo’s movements that night or witnessed the shooting along Loop 410?
