On June 14, 2016, in San Antonio, 53-year-old Moises Olguin and his friend, 59-year-old Ernest Tafolla were moving items in Tafolla’s garage on the 800 block of Vanderbilt Street when an argument broke out. Tafolla picked up a Crossman single-shot .177 pellet air rifle, pointed it at Olguin, and fired. The pellet struck Olguin above his eye and lodged in his brain. He was taken to a hospital and died on July 4, 2016.

Ernest Tafolla was arrested and charged with manslaughter. He told authorities the shot was accidental, saying the air rifle discharged as he picked it up to move it; a witness said the two men were arguing before Tafolla fired. Tafolla described Olguin as being like a brother and sought forgiveness from Olguin’s mother; she said she believed he did not intend to kill but was sure he meant to pull the trigger. Tafolla was released after posting a $30,000 bond.

If anyone knew Moises Olguin or was at the scene that day, please share what you know.
