Nearly a week after KSAT Investigates reported on unindicted felony cases out of the Bexar County District Attorney’s office, a 2021 murder case is moving forward.
Jordan Eaton, the man accused of shooting 28-year-old Valentin Gonzales IV on December 30, 2021, was indicted on September 20th.

This comes after our investigative team confronted District Attorney Joe Gonzales about Eaton’s case after a District 7 town hall on September 14th.
“Are you familiar with Jordan Eaton’s case?” KSAT Investigates reporter Leigh Waldman asked Gonzales on September 14th as he got off the stage.
“I’m not. I understand that you had contacted the office and that we scheduled an appointment that had to be rescheduled,” Gonzales answered.
Gonzales’ office canceled KSAT’s initial interview to discuss the 5,714 felony cases awaiting indictment from 2022 and 2023.
A week later, that interview still has not been rescheduled.
