Jesse James Valdez Sr., a 38-year-old resident of Seguin, Texas, died from gunshot wounds after a shooting on February 23, 2019. The shooting occurred in the 600 block of North Bowie Street; Valdez was taken to Guadalupe Regional Medical Center in critical condition and later flown to a San Antonio medical center, where he died. He was Hispanic and born April 4, 1980.

Seguin police say the shooting followed an argument, though they have not released specifics of what led to the confrontation. Santos Reina, 47, was arrested; charges began as aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and were upgraded to murder after Valdez’s death. A separate aggravated assault with a deadly weapon count was filed because other people were present during the shooting. Bonds were set at $100,000 for the aggravated assault charge and $200,000 for the murder charge.

The motive remains undisclosed and the investigation is ongoing. If anyone witnessed the argument or the shooting on North Bowie Street on February 23, 2019, please share what you know.
