Thomas Ray Harper, 33, was shot near a VIA bus stop outside the Walgreens on Southwest Military Drive near South Zarzamora Street in San Antonio on the evening of August 27, 2025. Police and medical examiner records say he was struck once in the chest, rushed to a hospital, and later died; the death was ruled a homicide by gunfire.

Witnesses described a confrontation that began as an argument at the bus stop shortly before 6:30 p.m. and escalated when a driver pulled up, exchanged words, and a single shot was fired from inside the vehicle before it sped away. Investigators used police footage and license plate reader data to identify a gray Nissan Juke tied to the scene; that lead pointed to 58-year-old Richard Cruz Rodriguez, who was arrested in early September and charged with murder.

Rodriguez is the only named suspect in the case. Did anyone in the area see the confrontation at the bus stop or notice the gray Nissan Juke that evening?
