Roberto Huron

Roberto Huron, a 70-year-old man, was driving with his wife in San Antonio, Texas, on the afternoon of November 26, 2022, when a dispute with another driver turned fatal. The couple was heading west on SE Military Drive on the city’s Southeast Side when a vehicle driven by Donyell Moton, then 46, came up behind them.

According to police, the incident began when Moton tried to pass Huron’s vehicle, but Huron did not let him. Moton later told investigators that Huron had been brake-checking him and trying to run him off the road. The confrontation escalated when Moton pointed a firearm out of his window and fired multiple shots into Huron’s car. Huron was struck once by the gunfire. He lost control of his vehicle, which came to a stop in the parking lot of a Walmart in the 3300 block of SE Military Drive.

Police were called to the scene just after 2:15 p.m. and found Huron critically injured in the driver’s seat. His wife, who was in the passenger seat, was not physically harmed. Emergency responders transported Huron to a local hospital, where he died from his injuries. Officers arrested Moton without incident a short time later at the corner of SE Military Drive and Presa Street.

Moton was charged with one count of murder and one count of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. During his trial, he admitted to firing at Huron's vehicle but claimed he had acted in self-defense. However, prosecutors presented multiple eyewitnesses who testified that Huron’s driving had not been aggressive or dangerous in the moments leading up to the shooting.

In March 2026, a Bexar County jury rejected Moton's self-defense claim and found him guilty of murder. A judge subsequently sentenced Donyell Moton to 40 years in prison for the death of Roberto Huron.
