Enemencio Mitch DeLaRosa, 35, was found with multiple gunshot wounds near 9th Street and Chadbourne Street in San Angelo just after 8 p.m. on Saturday, September 20, 2025. Officers rendered aid and he was taken to Shannon Medical Center, then transferred to a San Antonio hospital. His obituary records his death on September 25, 2025. Reports say he suffered severe gunshot wounds to the facial area and had been placed on life support before he died.

San Angelo police identified 34-year-old Alan Helms as the suspect and arrested him the night of the shooting. Helms was initially booked on a charge of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon; police said the case would be presented to a Tom Green County grand jury and that charges could be upgraded after DeLaRosa’s death. The investigation remains active.

The shooting prompted a candlelight vigil, community calls for support for the DeLaRosa family, and a fundraiser to assist with memorial expenses. If anyone knew Mitch or witnessed the shooting on Chadbourne Street that evening, please share information with investigators.
