SAN ANTONIO – A man was arrested and charged with capital murder in connection with a shooting in the parking lot of a Southeast Side H-E-B, according to San Antonio police.
Lorenzo Aleman, 48, is accused of shooting and killing his ex-partner and another man, police said.
Officers were dispatched on a shooting call just before 11 p.m. Sunday in the 4100 block of South New Braunfels Avenue.
Upon arrival, they found a man and a woman, who are believed to be in their 30s and 40s, respectively, dead from gunshot wounds, police said.
Authorities said the couple were meeting someone, believed to be Aleman, when an altercation took place. At some point, Aleman shot and killed the pair.
Aleman then fled in a white SUV, according to police. Witnesses at the scene helped identify the vehicle and Aleman in a photo lineup following his arrest, police said during a news conference Monday morning.
