SAN ANTONIO – A tragic incident unfolded on the East Side of San Antonio last week, leading to the arrest of a 20-year-old man, Brayden Herrera, who has been charged with murder. According to reports from the San Antonio Police Department, the shooting occurred on the evening of April 24.

Police officers were dispatched to the area around 7:30 p.m. to investigate reports of gunfire in the 5700 block of Lake Front, situated near Rigsby Avenue. Upon arrival, they discovered a 39-year-old man suffering from multiple gunshot wounds. Unfortunately, he was pronounced dead at the scene, shocking the nearby community.

Initially, the San Antonio Police Department detained three individuals in relation to the shooting. However, following further investigation, they identified Brayden Herrera as the primary suspect.
