Andre Lamar Montera, 24, of San Antonio, was fatally shot on April 23, 2025, after being struck outside an apartment complex on Nogalitos Street while reportedly picking up a coworker. He was taken to a hospital and later died of his injuries. Montera was a father to a two-month-old baby and a five-year-old son; his mother, Toni Brantley, has spoken publicly about her grief and called for accountability, urging whoever shot her son to turn themselves in.

Initial reports described the shooter as a 22-year-old man. Authorities later identified Ronnie Jay Salas, 22, as the suspect, accused of shooting Montera during an argument in the 100 block of Ames Avenue. After the shooting Salas reportedly fled Texas and was located in Kansas; the Kansas Apprehension Task Force and the Lone Star Fugitive Task Force say he was arrested in the 1400 block of North Clay in Hoisington and was wanted by the San Antonio Police Department in connection with the homicide. The investigation remains ongoing and further legal details have not been released.
