Ricardo Contreras, 36, was found just before 3 a.m. on Thursday, October 9, 2025, lying outside a West Side business in the 1200 block of Historic Old Highway 90 near Acme Road with a gunshot wound to the head and was pronounced dead at the scene. The Bexar County Medical Examiner identified him and ruled the death a homicide. Investigators reported a vehicle believed to be his with multiple bullet holes in the windshield and recovered five spent shell casings around the parking lot.

An arrest affidavit filed after the shooting says the confrontation began in the store’s parking lot while Contreras was speaking with his girlfriend. The affidavit alleges her ex-boyfriend arrived, began arguing, then pulled a gun and fired several times, striking Contreras in the head and back. The affidavit also notes prior police reports of family violence by the suspect against the same woman and states Contreras was believed to be unarmed.

By October 11, authorities had arrested 40-year-old Richardo Michael Haymon and charged him with murder; records show he was booked into the Bexar County jail on $200,000 bail as investigators continued compiling evidence, including vehicle damage and the shell casings. If anyone has information about the shooting or saw activity near Historic Old Highway 90 that night, please share what is known.
