On the evening of May 27, 2023, 54-year-old Vicente H. Zurita was fatally shot at Mary’s Car Wash in the 2900 block of Commercial Avenue on San Antonio’s South Side. San Antonio police arrived about 9:50 p.m. and found Zurita next to his truck in a car wash bay with multiple gunshot wounds; he was pronounced dead at the scene after life-saving efforts.

Witnesses said two people tried to rob Zurita and then fled, and one of those suspects — a 16-year-old male whose identity has been withheld because of his age — was arrested shortly after and found with a firearm matching the caliber of the bullets that killed Zurita. Further investigation led to the arrest of 27-year-old Anthony Guzman on June 1, 2023, at Apple Valley and Fur Valley. Guzman had been released from jail 11 days before the shooting after an earlier arrest for unlawful carrying of a weapon and a failure to appear in court; he faces a capital murder charge with bond set at $200,000.

The arrests followed witness accounts and police work; beyond those developments, details about motive or other evidence have not been provided. Does anyone have information about Zurita, his routine at the car wash, or what happened that night?
