Juan Armando Gonzalez, a 28-year-old Hispanic man from Harlingen, Texas, was shot and killed outside his apartment at the Lago Vista Village Apartments in San Antonio on December 30, 2016. San Antonio police say he was struck twice, including a wound to the head, at about 11:30 p.m.; witnesses reported the shooter fled in a vehicle described only vaguely. Investigators did not disclose the specifics of the argument that preceded the shooting.

Authorities arrested 22-year-old Cody Arriola on January 11, 2017; U.S. Marshals captured him in Corpus Christi and he was charged with murder. Arriola’s arrest affidavit states he and Gonzalez argued inside another man’s apartment, were escorted out, and the argument escalated with Arriola shooting Gonzalez in the head and chest. Gonzalez was buried at Mont Meta Memorial Park in San Benito and his family raised funds to help cover funeral costs.

Gonzalez’s death was recorded as San Antonio’s 151st homicide of 2016, the final reported homicide that year.
