Vincent Fisher, a 31-year-old from San Antonio, was fatally shot on March 31, 2018, at an apartment complex on the city’s West Side. The arrest affidavit says 44-year-old Moises Morales executed Fisher with a 12-gauge shotgun; a witness reported Fisher was begging for his life and that Morales shot him again in the head after the initial shots.

Investigators say Morales gave a Bible to a witness at the scene; that Bible was turned over to police and the witness later identified Morales from a photograph, leading to his arrest by the Lone Star Fugitive Task Force. Morales was charged with murder and, according to the case narrative, agreed to plead guilty in exchange for a 32-year prison term to be argued before Judge Lori Valenzuela in the 437th State District Court; he must serve at least half the sentence before becoming eligible for parole.
