A dispute over money on a San Antonio street ended with the death of 21-year-old Joe Anthony Rodriguez. On January 28, 2026, in the 200 block of Cardiff Avenue on the city’s East Side, Rodriguez was arguing with another man around 12:20 a.m. The argument was reportedly over a debt Rodriguez owed. After Rodriguez handed over money, the other man pulled out a gun and shot him. Emergency crews took Rodriguez to a nearby hospital, where he was pronounced dead. The Bexar County Medical Examiner’s Office later ruled the death a homicide.

Police identified and arrested 20-year-old Daniel Sanchez Jr. the same day and charged him with murder. He was booked into the Bexar County jail with bail set at $250,000; a court hearing was scheduled for April 28, 2026. Rodriguez was born in San Antonio on October 12, 2004, to Ismael Rodriguez and Beatrice Cruz.
