Jose Gregorio Yanez-Nava, 40, was shot to death on the Northwest Side of San Antonio in the early hours of Sunday, September 14, 2025. The Bexar County Medical Examiner identified him two days later and determined the cause of death was a gunshot wound to the torso after the attack at the Casa Del Sol Apartments in the 7800 block of Callaghan Road. Family members said he was originally from Venezuela.

According to an arrest affidavit and contemporaneous reporting, the violence began when a man in a red sedan drove up to a group outside the complex and opened fire, fatally wounding 26-year-old Jorge Isaac Espejo at the entrance. As the car tried to flee, Yanez-Nava threw rocks at the vehicle; the driver then stopped, got out, chased him, and shot him near an apartment doorway. Security footage and witness accounts described that sequence, and officers found one victim at the entrance and Yanez-Nava lying in front of an apartment door.

San Antonio police arrested 54-year-old Joe John Perez and charged him with capital murder in connection with the killings. Reports noted Perez had a lengthy criminal history and a judge set bond at $800,000. Affidavit details linked shell casings and vehicle damage on a red Mitsubishi Lancer to evidence from the scene.

Did anyone witness the red sedan or the shooting near the apartment entrance who can help fill in what happened?
