On June 7, 2023, 35-year-old Eloy Hernandez was shot and killed during an argument in the 1800 block of West Laurel Street in San Antonio, Texas. Police say Hernandez was walking when he became involved in a confrontation with two men and one of them produced a small handgun and shot him in the chest. He was taken to University Hospital and later died of his injuries.

Surveillance footage released by the San Antonio Police Department and Crime Stoppers captured the moments before the shooting, and authorities asked the public for help identifying the shooter. Multiple tips led investigators to 23-year-old Seth Angel Arocha Garcia, also known as Rico. A tipster said Garcia had shot himself in the foot to support a story that Hernandez had shot him; hospital records and an altered appearance noted in interviews matched that account. A warrant was issued on July 27, 2023, and Garcia was arrested and charged with murder; he is being held in Bexar County Jail on $250,000 bond.

Family described Hernandez as a construction worker and father of two who generally kept to himself. Does anyone in the area remember seeing Hernandez that day or have information about the confrontation on West Laurel Street?
