SAN ANTONIO – A Bexar County teenager was sentenced to 40 years in prison after he pleaded guilty to shooting and killing a 65-year-old man during a 2024 attempted carjacking on the North Side, according to a court official.
His sentencing took place Thursday morning in the 289th Juvenile District Court. The court official told KSAT that the teen took a plea, which reduced his original capital murder charge down to murder in the death of Muhammad Pazir.
