Justin Cody Bergh, 39, of San Antonio was shot and killed on the evening of January 16, 2025, in southeast Bexar County. He was walking his two dogs near the 6600 block of Harry Road, near Elmendorf, when he approached a residence to complain about barking dogs. Witnesses say an argument followed between Bergh and the homeowner, 46-year-old Michael Dimaggio; Bergh allegedly threatened Dimaggio and struck him in the face. Dimaggio reportedly went back inside, returned and told Bergh to leave, and witnesses stated Bergh lunged at him. Dimaggio then fired a shot that struck Bergh in the chest. Emergency responders transported Bergh but he died at the scene.

The Bexar County Sheriff’s Office took Dimaggio into custody and charged him with murder; investigators are continuing to collect evidence and witness statements. Bergh was originally from Victorville, California, and ran an ice cream truck business called Higher Elevation, painted cars professionally, DJed locally and collected sports cards. A celebration of his life was held February 5, 2025, at Sunset North Funeral Home in San Antonio.
