SAN ANTONIO – An 18-year-old who is accused of shooting and killing a man in a car on the West Side in August is facing additional charges.
Eric Cavazos has been in jail since he was charged with the murder of Joseph Macias in August. Police believe Cavazos also shot two other teens that night, who survived, and now he’s being charged with two counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.
Police said that on Aug. 7, the three victims went to the 6500 block of Tahoka Boulevard to meet with someone after arranging a drug deal through social media.
Police believe Cavazos was the person they met with, and that once the drug deal was over, they said he shot into the car multiple times, killing Macias and injuring the two other teens.
Cavazos was arrested on a bus in Tulsa in August and was extradited to the Bexar County jail in early September. He’s being held without bond.
