SAN ANTONIO – San Antonio police on Tuesday released bodycam footage in connection with the shooting death of a man on the Northeast Side in mid-July.

SAPD received a tip about a suspect wanted for several active warrants staying at a hotel in the 6900 block of Interstate 35.

The man was identified as Adrian San Martin, 30.

After several hours of surveillance, officers saw Martin enter a vehicle.
