Jonathan Andrew Orta, 33, was killed in a shooting at an apartment complex in the 200 block of Torreon Street on San Antonio’s West Side on January 29, 2025. Police were called shortly after 5:30 p.m. following reports of gunfire; officers found Orta suffering from a gunshot wound to the torso. First responders began treatment but he was pronounced dead at the scene. The Bexar County Medical Examiner’s Office ruled the death a homicide caused by a gunshot wound to the torso.

Witnesses told investigators Orta and the shooter may have known one another. Early accounts said the suspected shooter fled before being taken into custody and that Orta was attempting to leave the property when two shots were heard. Later reporting, citing an arrest warrant, identified Gilbert Gonzales as the accused shooter and described witness statements that Gonzales fired at Orta earlier in the encounter and again as Orta tried to leave; medical findings indicated Orta was shot in the back and the projectile exited his body. Officers conducted an extensive search of the complex, detaining several occupants and deploying SWAT and K-9 units, but Gonzales was not immediately captured at the scene.

A murder charge against Gonzales was filed by March 2025; reporting does not provide a documented trial, plea, acquittal, or conviction. If anyone saw what happened on Torreon Street that evening or knew Orta or the people involved, please share information with investigators.
