Octavian Tave Estrada, 39, was fatally shot on March 7, 2025 at a Valero station near East Loop 1604 South and Highway 181 South in southeast Bexar County. Surveillance footage shows Estrada parking a white sedan next to a Chevrolet truck hauling a trailer, then approaching the truck; a person inside the truck fired shots, striking Estrada in the chest. Deputies found him deceased at the scene.

Authorities identified and arrested 34-year-old Sean Anthony Samaniego. He was initially charged with tampering with physical evidence for allegedly removing the trailer from his truck, and the charge was later upgraded to murder. An arrest affidavit quotes Samaniego saying Estrada had been brake-checking him during a drive from Floresville to San Antonio and claiming a passenger called Money fired the shots; investigators determined that passenger was not present at the time of the shooting.

Estrada was a well-known barber in Floresville; hundreds gathered outside The Town Barbershop to honor him, recalling his mentorship of young barbers and his habit of giving free haircuts and support to those in need. Did anyone in the area see activity near the Valero station that morning or have information about the truck and trailer involved?
