Rudy Berlanga was 32 when he was killed on January 19, 2019, in San Antonio, Texas. Berlanga was visiting a South Side home, left, and then returned early the next morning armed with a long gun. A resident, 25-year-old Henry Adame III, shouted for Berlanga to drop the weapon; a confrontation followed and Adame fired multiple shots. Berlanga was found facedown in a pool of blood with a single gunshot wound to the face.

Police received a report of shots fired but initially found no evidence of a shooting; witnesses later returned and discovered Berlanga’s body, prompting the investigation. The couple staying at the home identified Adame as the shooter. Adame was arrested and charged with first-degree felony murder; his arrest affidavit noted two prior burglary convictions and he was held on $150,000 bail. Jury selection in the case began in January 2020. The motive has not been disclosed in court documents.

Does anyone have information about Berlanga’s movements that night or about witnesses who were at the home?
