Aaron Jackson Peterman was a 20-year-old Texas State University student found shot to death inside his Park North Condos apartment on Aquarena Springs Drive in San Marcos on February 13, 2019. A family member discovered him early that morning and he was pronounced dead at the scene. The San Marcos Police Department initially treated the case as a robbery-homicide.

Police identified two suspects: James Lee Zapata Jr., 19, and Martin Garcia Jr., 23. Investigators said the shooting appeared to stem from a drug-related robbery. Both men were arrested and charged with capital murder and held in the Hays County Jail on $750,000 bail each.

This was San Marcos’s first homicide of 2019 and the second shooting at that residential complex within six months. If anyone knew Aaron, his routines, or observed anything unusual around Park North Condos in February 2019, please share what you know.
