Pete Gonzales, 45, was shot and killed on March 15, 2015, outside his downtown San Antonio music club, 210 Kapone. The shooting happened shortly after Gonzales had ejected a man identified as Celestino Vasquez for causing a disturbance. Vasquez returned to his car, retrieved a handgun and fired several shots into the crowd outside the club, striking Gonzales at least once. Gonzales was taken to San Antonio Military Medical Center and pronounced dead at 2:23 a.m.

Authorities identified the shooter as Celestino Vasquez, also known as Faustino or Kasper, a Hispanic man in his 30s. Vasquez had prior criminal convictions and was arrested, tried and convicted of murder in Gonzales’ death. During the trial his estranged wife testified that he had been violent toward her; Vasquez received life in prison with no possibility of parole for 30 years. Gonzales is remembered by family and friends as a father, public servant and supporter of the local music scene.

If anyone knew Gonzales, witnessed the events outside 210 Kapone that night, or has information relevant to the shooting, please come forward.
