Less than a week after a deadly shooting at Fiesta, Market Square is hosting another major celebration.
Amid the violence seen last weekend during Fiesta De Los Reyes at Market Square, vendors are cautiously preparing for the upcoming Cinco De Mayo celebration, but many say they’re confident this weekend won’t be similar what happened during Fiesta.
San Antonio Mayor Ron Nirenberg said he’s angry that state leaders continue to make it easy for dangerous people to access weapons after two men shot and killed each other during the Fiesta De Los Reyes event at Market Square over the weekend.
