SAN ANTONIO -- A San Antonio man charged with capital murder in the Monday deaths of two women killed his grandmother with a meat cleaver because she disapproved of him bringing home a prostitute, according to an arrest affidavit.
Tommy Flores, 30, was arrested Monday on unrelated charges before police charged him in connection with the deaths of his grandmother, 74-year-old Eva Flores, and a second unidentified woman.
The alleged killer told police he attacked his grandmother in anger after she announced her displeasure with the woman Flores brought to her home, where he was also living, according to the affidavit.
The bodies of Flores and the unidentified woman were found about 10 a.m. at the home on the 220 block of Caddo Street near Interstate 35 and Palo Alto Street on San Antonio's south side.
Eva Flores was found in a bedroom with severe cuts to her neck while the second woman was found in another bedroom with a single gunshot wound to the head.
Inside the home, police found a bloody meat cleaver and a .357 Magnum revolver, according to the affidavit. Acting on evidence in the home as well as witness statements, police arrested Flores later in the day at an east-side motel on an outstanding arrest warrant.
Flores was charged with capital murder and is being held at the Bexar County Jail on $500,000 bond.
