BEXAR COUNTY, Texas – As Bexar County Sheriff’s deputies whisked Bryan Salazar by reporters Friday evening, he remained defiant about his alleged involvement in a 2024 capital murder case.
“Hell nah,” the 20-year-old Salazar told KSAT 12 when asked if he committed a crime in connection with the case.
The Bexar County Sheriff’s Office said Salazar is the second arrest in connection with the capital murder of a 4-year-old girl in northeast Bexar County.
“Bro. I’m as innocent as can be, bruh,” Salazar also told reporters.
The shooting happened just after 7:30 p.m. on May 8, 2024, in the 6700 block of Windsor Hollow Drive.
The full Sept. 26, 2025, BCSO news conference can be seen below.
Maryann Marble, a 4-year-old girl, died after she was shot in the head. Four other family members were critically wounded by gunfire, Bexar County Sheriff Javier Salazar said last year.
During a 2024 news conference, the sheriff also said two men pulled up to the home in a gray Infiniti Q50, got out and opened fire with rifles on the home.
Nearly 30 rounds were fired from each man before they fled the scene.
Isaiah Perales, 20, was the first arrest in connection with this case. In October 2024, he was also charged with capital murder.
On Friday, the sheriff revealed that Bryan Salazar is now facing 11 new charges in connection with the Windsor Hollow Drive shooting:
- 8 charges of aggravated assault-mass shooting (one charge for each person inside the home at the time of the shooting)
- 2 charges of injury to a child
- 1 capital murder charge
BCSO also said Friday that the suspect was previously arrested and charged for tampering with evidence in connection with the Windsor Hollow Drive shooting on Oct. 10, 2024. On that day, Salazar also faced unrelated charges to the northeast Bexar County shooting.
In all, Bryan Salazar is facing 12 charges in connection with the deadly shooting.
Days before May 8, 2024, Sheriff Salazar said Perales and Bryan Salazar were planning to steal a car and map out what they considered a retaliatory attack following the April 26, 2024, shooting death of Xavier Perez.
Perez, a 27-year-old man who was killed outside a South Side basketball gym, is believed to be a relative of Bryan Salazar, the sheriff said on Friday.
As early as May 5, 2024, Sheriff Salazar said the suspects began surveilling the home, including driving near the home. Investigators said they were able to obtain their location data via a nearby cellphone tower.
In the moments leading up to the Windsor Hollow Drive shooting, the sheriff’s office said Perales and Salazar turned off their phones as they approached the home. They later turned their phones back on following the shooting, Sheriff Salazar said.
Cellphone tower tracking also led deputies on Oct. 21, 2024, to Calaveras Lake in southeast Bexar County, where — with the help of the Harris County Sheriff’s Office Dive Team — a weapon was recovered.
Deputies later confirmed that the semi-automatic weapon was used in the Windsor Hollow Drive shooting.
The Bexar County sheriff said Friday that Salazar was “not a very cooperative young man” regarding the capital murder investigation.
“If we have things our way, he’s going to spend the rest of his life behind bars, at the very least,” Sheriff Javier Salazar said.
Bryan Salazar is in the process of being booked into the Bexar County Adult Detention Center.
“Hopefully, they catch the right people ‘cause it ain’t me,” Bryan Salazar told reporters before he went into a BCSO patrol vehicle.
