SAN ANTONIO – The Bexar County Medical Examiner’s Office identified the father of a woman who was shot and killed by her boyfriend.

The office said Christopher Paul Fuentes, 43, was shot multiple times. His death was ruled a homicide.

San Antonio police said it is still searching for the man accused of shooting and killing Fuentes, his girlfriend’s father, early Saturday morning.

Officers were dispatched to a Taco Palenque restaurant around 12:15 a.m. in the 18000 block of Blanco Road.

According to an SAPD Sergeant on the scene, Fuentes, his daughter and her boyfriend — also known as the shooter — began the evening at a bar.
