Anthony Rangel, a 39-year-old Hispanic man, was fatally shot on July 3, 2017, in a Texas Land & Cattle Steak House parking lot on the north side of San Antonio. Police say Victor Ricondo, 48, was sitting in a parked van after hours when Rangel pulled in and parked beside him. After Rangel allegedly opened Ricondo’s van door, Ricondo yelled at him; Rangel returned to his vehicle and tried to drive away, and Ricondo then fired several shots, striking Rangel in the neck. Rangel’s vehicle struck two other cars before stopping; he died after being taken to University Hospital.

San Antonio police charged Ricondo with murder and set bond at $150,000. Investigators concluded Ricondo was not acting in self-defense, finding he was not in danger when he shot Rangel. The case raised questions about the limits of using deadly force to protect property under Texas law and the boundary between lawful defense and criminal violence.

If anyone witnessed the shooting or knew Rangel’s movements that night, does anyone have information to share with investigators?
