BEXAR COUNTY, Texas – The Bexar County Sheriff’s Office shared an update on an arrest made in connection with a deadly Monday night shooting in far west Bexar County.
During a Tuesday afternoon news conference, Sheriff Javier Salazar said Mason Ray Rodriguez, 21, surrendered to BCSO investigators hours after he allegedly shot another man at least “a dozen times.”
Bexar County Sheriff’s deputies were dispatched on a shooting call just after 7 p.m. Monday at a home in the 6700 block of Calle Fincias, which is located south of U.S. Highway 90 in far West Bexar County.
According to Salazar, Rodriguez, who was joined at the scene of the shooting by multiple persons of interest, fired a 9 mm weapon at Enrique Javier Perales, 29. Rodriguez and the persons of interest sped away in a vehicle from the scene, Salazar said.
Perales was pronounced dead at the scene, the sheriff’s office said Monday night.
Investigators said Rodriguez and Perales were both romantically involved with the same woman.
The sheriff said Rodriguez attempted to dispose of the weapon and a “high-capacity magazine,” but both items have since been recovered by the sheriff’s office.
Salazar did not rule out the possibility of more arrests in this case.
It is also unclear if the woman was present when and where the shooting took place.
Jail records indicate Rodriguez was booked into the Bexar County Adult Detention Center on a murder charge. A judge set his bond at $250,000, court records show.
