A fatal altercation over a noise complaint ended with Edward Trejo shot and killed on the West Side of San Antonio just after 5:15 a.m. on December 21, 2025. Officers found the 29-year-old with multiple gunshot wounds, including a critical neck injury; first responders transported him to a hospital where he was pronounced dead. The Bexar County Medical Examiner ruled the manner of death homicide from a gunshot wound.

Police say the dispute began when 40-year-old Paul Flores went to Trejo’s residence on the 300 block of Cincinnati Avenue to complain about loud noise. A verbal argument in the front yard escalated into a physical fight in the street, and investigators allege Flores produced a firearm and fired multiple rounds, striking Trejo. Flores was taken into custody at the scene and booked; prosecutors charged him with murder and aggravated assault and a judge set combined bond at $200,000.

Friends and coworkers remembered Trejo as a kind salesperson at an automotive agency, noting a memorial in his office with flowers, photos, and an autographed Dallas Cowboys helmet. Did anyone in the neighborhood hear or see what happened that morning?
