Bexar County medical examiner identifies man fatally shot during meetup at Northeast Side apartment complex

What investigators say happened

A man who was shot and killed during a late-night meetup at a Northeast Side apartment complex has been identified by the Bexar County Medical Examiner’s Office as 38-year-old Israel Uriegas. The medical examiner determined Uriegas died from at least one gunshot wound and ruled the death a homicide.

The shooting occurred in the early morning hours of July 5, 2025, at an apartment complex in the 2400 block of Northeast Loop 410 near Perrin Beitel Road. Police were called to the scene around 4 a.m.

Investigators say Uriegas was sitting inside a vehicle with a woman when an unknown person approached and attempted to open a vehicle door. A confrontation followed, and Uriegas was shot multiple times. He was pronounced dead at the scene, with police later describing him as having been found between two vehicles.

Suspect information and the status of the case

Authorities have not publicly identified a suspect. Police reported that the shooter left the area immediately after the gunfire, and the direction of travel was not specified in public summaries of the preliminary investigation. No arrests had been announced in connection with the killing at the time Uriegas was identified.

In a subsequent update circulated to reporters, the case was described as a “capital murder” investigation under Texas law, a designation that can apply to a homicide committed under certain circumstances defined by statute. Investigators have not publicly detailed which circumstance they believe may apply in this case.

Reward offered and how tip-based investigations typically proceed

A reward of up to $5,000 was announced for information that leads to an arrest. In cases where the suspected shooter is not immediately identified, investigators commonly rely on a combination of canvassing for witnesses, collecting surveillance video from nearby properties, examining physical evidence at the scene, and reviewing digital traces that may place people at the location around the time of the shooting.
