A 63-year-old man, Eugene McAlister, was shot to death inside the Victoria Plaza Apartments at 411 Barrera Street in San Antonio on April 5, 2025. Officers arrived about 11:00 a.m. and found McAlister with a gunshot wound to the abdomen; the Bexar County Medical Examiner’s Office ruled the death a homicide.

The incident began with an altercation between McAlister and another man aged between 50 and 70. That man sustained multiple stab wounds and a compound fracture to his left ankle and was taken to hospital with injuries described as non-life-threatening. Police have identified him as the suspect in the shooting but say the circumstances remain under investigation, including whether the killing will be classified as murder or self-defense.

Opportunity Home, which manages the apartment complex, confirmed the two men were cousins. The investigation is ongoing as authorities gather evidence and interview witnesses.
