Shortly before noon on Feb. 28, officers were called to the 200 block of South St. Mary’s Street, where Orozco was shot multiple times in his head and body.

San Antonio Police Chief William McManus said two men got into an argument. Both pulled out a gun during the argument, but one of the men walked away while the other opened fire on him.

Orozco was in critical condition the day of the shooting. The ME’s office later released his cause of death and identified him as the shooting victim on March 8.

If convicted, Harris could face a punishment of five to 99 years or life in prison and a possible fine of up to $10,000.
