Rudy Gumecindo Regalado, 35, was shot during the early morning of Monday, June 16, 2025, on San Antonio’s West Side. Officers responding about 5 a.m. to the 300 block of North Pinto Street found him in the yard with a gunshot wound to the chest; he was taken to a hospital and later pronounced dead. Investigators say the shooting followed a family gathering that escalated into an argument inside the home and spilled outside.

Detectives quickly focused on a relative who fled the scene in a gray or silver Jeep Cherokee. By the end of the week authorities identified and arrested 38-year-old Ronnie Lee Regalado, Rudy’s cousin, and booked him into the Bexar County Adult Detention Center on a murder charge; affidavits describe a close-range shooting during the dispute. Loved ones memorialized Rudy in public obituaries that note his San Antonio roots, his interest in drawing, and his work in lawn care.

If anyone saw the disturbance on North Pinto Street on June 16 or has information about the events that led to Rudy’s death, please come forward to investigators.
