On February 28, 2016, in San Antonio, Texas, 45-year-old John David Salazar was fatally shot during an incident at the apartment in the 9500 block of Perrin Beitel near Sun Gate Drive. Salazar and his 29-year-old roommate, Eric Gildelamadrid, were reportedly discussing whether a gun or a knife was faster when Gildelamadrid pointed a firearm at Salazar. Despite warnings to handle the weapon cautiously, Gildelamadrid allegedly believed the safety was engaged and the gun unintentionally discharged, striking Salazar in the stomach. Salazar was taken to San Antonio Military Medical Center, where he later died.

Gildelamadrid was found outside the apartment with his hands raised, arrested and charged with manslaughter; bond was set at $20,000. John David Salazar was born June 21, 1970, in Port Washington, Wisconsin. He was preceded in death by his father, Jose D. Salazar, and is survived by his mother, Linda Salazar, two brothers, James Long Jr. and Jerome Long, and a nephew, James Long III.
