He was arrested in April during a traffic stop after several migrants were found in his truck.
When Rivera was taken into custody and questioned, San Antonio police said he also confessed to Soto’s murder.
According to a previous KSAT report, Soto’s decapitated body was found burning in a dumpster on Goliad Road on the Southeast Side.
Prior to his death, law enforcement said Soto was last seen in Houston on Aug. 20.
