On January 6, 2023, shortly before 9:30 p.m., 34-year-old Xavier Alvarez and 38-year-old Janell Lopez were fatally shot in the 7000 block of Calle Fincias in San Antonio. Deputies found Alvarez lying near a Chrysler Pacifica with multiple gunshot wounds and Lopez inside the vehicle with multiple gunshot injuries. Investigators recovered several dozen shell casings from at least two different firearms across the street and a nearby front yard, consistent with multiple firing positions.

A witness who had been in the backyard reported seeing 49-year-old Nickolas Blue Lopez firing a rifle and a handgun at the Pacifica while another man, identified as 54-year-old Alfred Krueger Lopez, discharged two handguns into the rear of the vehicle. Arrests followed: Nickolas Lopez was booked on March 3, 2023, and Alfred Lopez was taken into custody on March 6, 2023; both were charged with capital murder and held in the Bexar County Jail. Authorities have not released a definitive motive, though the sheriff cited a possible romantic dispute as a lead.

Did anyone in the San Antonio area see activity in the 7000 block of Calle Fincias that night or know the victims or the two men named in the reports?
