On the evening of May 14, 2023, 29-year-old Bruno Lira San Agustin was fatally shot outside the El Tecate restaurant on South Carlisle Street in South Bend, Indiana. He was taken to Memorial Hospital of South Bend, where he died of his injuries.

The shooting followed an altercation that began over a necklace which one of the other men said had been stolen a week earlier. Surveillance video shows Ernesto Arellano pinning San Agustin against a vehicle while Eduardo Alvarado struck him in the head with a gun; the confrontation ended when Alvarado shot San Agustin at close range. The two men fled in a white Dodge Charger and later stopped at a gas station, where Arellano admitted helping remove the car’s hubcaps to change its appearance.

Witnesses and video led to the suspects being identified and arrested. Both men reportedly admitted involvement; Alvarado confessed to shooting San Agustin and was charged with murder and a firearm enhancement, while Arellano was charged with assisting a criminal and battery resulting in bodily injury. If anyone knew Bruno or saw the incident, please come forward with information.
