Jorge Espejo Gudino, 26, was shot in the early morning hours of Sunday, September 14, 2025, at the Casa Del Sol apartments along the 7800 block of Callaghan Road on San Antonio’s Northwest Side. Police were dispatched around 2 a.m. to reports of a shooting in progress. Officers found Espejo near the complex’s main entrance with a gunshot wound; he was taken to a hospital where he later died.

Surveillance video and witness accounts describe a red sedan pulling into the apartment lot, the driver opening fire and striking Espejo, who ran. As the car sped away, a second man, Jose Gregorio Yañez-Nava, reportedly hurled rocks at the vehicle; the driver stopped, chased him and fatally shot him before fleeing. Investigators matched shell casings from the scene to casings recovered in an unrelated incident and noted damage on a red Mitsubishi Lancer consistent with broken glass at the complex.

San Antonio police arrested 54-year-old Joe John Perez within days and booked him on capital murder charges; bail was reported at $800,000. Public memorials for Espejo have appeared online and authorities ask anyone with information to come forward. Did anyone in the area that night see the red sedan or other activity in the parking lot?
