SAN ANTONIO – New police documents show a man was not only the stepfather of a 15-year-old girl he's accused of killing, but he’s also the father of her 1-year-old child and unborn baby, who was also killed.
After a month of requests, KSAT 12 has obtained the police report on the murder of 15-year-old Jennifer Delgado.
Delgado was murdered last month on the city's Northwest Side.
Police said Armando Rodrigo Garcia-Ramires is Delgado’s stepfather and the father of her children.
A police report said doctors tried to save the unborn child the day of the fatal shooting but were unable to.
Delgado's mother and Garcia-Ramires had split up after 10 years of marriage, and for the past year, the 15-year-old had lived with her stepfather, the report said.
Delgado had just moved back in with her mother when she revealed what her stepfather had done. The police report does not say whether the mother then told authorities.
The document said the morning of March 6 started with an argument over money between Garcia-Ramires and Delgado’s mother. They were supposed to meet up at a bank, but he never showed.
Delgado’s mother eventually found him in the woods next to her apartment on Babcock Road with a gun in his hand. He told his wife he "could not live without her" before he shot himself.
Fearing the worst, officers went to the apartment. They noticed muddy footprints, a door jamb and an orange with a hole in it. They found the pregnant 15-year-old on the floor motionless, facing the couch, with her son sitting next to her head.
The footprints matched Garcia-Ramires', who survived and is now charged with two counts of capital murder, one for a child under 10.
