James Anthony Vargas, 23, was shot multiple times and killed on December 24, 2020, near the 13000 block of O’Connor Road in San Antonio. Police reports say an argument began around 5 p.m. that day; during the altercation one of the individuals shot Vargas and then fled on foot. The Bexar County Medical Examiner ruled the cause of death to be the gunshot injuries.

San Antonio police arrested 42-year-old Adara Christopher Davis and charged him with murder. Witnesses told investigators Davis arrived at the residence carrying a baseball bat and a gun to confront Vargas about allegedly stolen property, and also reported that Vargas had a handgun. Witness testimony and evidence presented to authorities say both men exchanged gunfire and that Davis approached the scene aggressively, which investigators said undercut a claim of self-defense.

The case had a pre-hearing set for February 2, 2021. Does anyone have information about the events that evening or knew Vargas or his movements before the shooting?
