SAN ANTONIO – Manslaughter charges against a 22-year-old man, who was previously suspected of being involved in a deadly shooting at a Southeast Side apartment complex, were dismissed after a judge ruled there was a lack of probable cause in the case, according to Bexar County records.
Witnesses told investigators they saw Jose Maria Galindo run from a bedroom at the Pecan Valley Apartments after hearing a gunshot on Jan. 22.
Ana Martinez, 19, was found dead in the room at the complex.
Investigators arrested Galindo in La Salle County soon after, but because a judge did not find enough reasonable grounds for the manslaughter charge, the case was dismissed.
Galindo is still in the Bexar County Jail on a charge of assault of a public servant, according to records.
Police said the assault happened last July.
The Bexar County Sheriff’s Office says the bond in the assault case was increased to $15,000.
