SAN ANTONIO – San Antonio police announced the arrest of a murder suspect Wednesday, more than a month after officers found a 16-year-old teen fatally shot near basketball courts in a West Side Park.
Fabian Vega, 20, was taken into custody without incident by the U.S. Marshal’s Lone Star Fugitive Task Force. He is charged with murder and two counts of aggravated assault.
