Mark Hughes, 29, of San Antonio, Texas, was shot and killed on March 29, 2017. He was working on fencing around a trailer in a mobile home park on the 6700 block of Walzem Road when he crossed onto the neighboring trailer’s property and got into an altercation with the residents. Hughes was found with multiple gunshot wounds and taken to San Antonio Military Medical Center, where he died.

Police arrested 20-year-old Alex Martinez Ortiz in April 2017 and charged him with murder. Court records show Ortiz later accepted a plea deal, acknowledged responsibility for the shooting, and in April 2019 was sentenced to 25 years in prison, with a requirement to serve at least half that term before parole eligibility. The case was closely followed by the community and concluded with that sentence.

Did anyone in the mobile home park see what happened that afternoon or have additional context about the dispute that led to the shooting?
