Ignacio Aragon, 42, was killed in a shooting outside the Flying Tiger Sports Bar on Southeast Military Drive in San Antonio on January 17, 2015. The shooting happened about 2:30 a.m. after a fight inside the bar spilled outside. Witnesses said a man later identified as Santiago Hernandez got into an altercation with Aragon and another patron, Michael Garcia, and then returned with a firearm and shot both men. Aragon died at the scene; Garcia later died at a hospital.

Hernandez fled but was arrested the same day at his home. Officers also detained Hernandez’s son, Dillon Soto, who was found at the residence with three firearms and drugs. Hernandez was charged with capital murder and later entered a plea that resulted in a 40-year prison sentence in 2016; he is eligible for parole in 20 years. Hernandez asserted he felt threatened and believed the victims were connected to the Mexican Mafia, a claim the court record said lacked supporting evidence.

Aragon’s family remembers him as a loving father and grandfather whose death left a large void. If anyone who was there that night or who knew Ignacio has additional information, please come forward.
