David Alvarado, 43, was fatally shot in the early hours of March 16, 2025, at Café Olé on the San Antonio River Walk. Responding officers found Alvarado around 1 a.m. with a gunshot wound to the head; emergency responders pronounced him dead at the scene and the Bexar County Medical Examiner ruled the death a homicide.

Investigators say both Alvarado and the suspect worked at Café Olé. Police launched a search and later arrested 20-year-old Talano Garcia at a different location after a family member provided information; Garcia was taken into custody without incident and is charged with first-degree murder. Officials have not disclosed a motive, and the San Antonio Police Department continues to investigate.

If anyone has information about David Alvarado, his movements that night, or the events at Café Olé, please contact the San Antonio Police Department or Crime Stoppers.
