On August 1, 2026, a 911 call from a Southwest Side warehouse district in San Antonio led officers to a warehouse and office on North Frank Luke Drive, where 59-year-old Juan Alejandro Sanchez was found dead in an office chair from a single gunshot wound to the chest. A man later identified as 53-year-old Augustin Meyer was detained while trying to leave the scene.Police recovered Sanchez’s wallet with its contents scattered on the warehouse floor and found Sanchez’s smartwatch in Meyer’s pocket. Surveillance footage showed only Sanchez and Meyer were present when the shooting occurred, and investigators located a revolver hidden under a blue bandana in the warehouse; that same bandana appears on Meyer in the footage.

Meyer told investigators he and Sanchez had just met that day and that Sanchez, facing financial troubles, asked Meyer to shoot him so the family could collect life insurance. Sanchez’s family said his coverage was a standard employer policy.The case is being prosecuted as capital murder based on allegations the shooting occurred during the commission of a robbery; Meyer was arrested and booked into the Bexar County Jail with bond set at $600,000.

Does anyone have information about Sanchez’s movements that afternoon or the relationship between the two men?
