Saiz is currently on parole for prohibited substance in a correctional facility and two felon in possession of a firearm charges, with a release date in November 2026, the affidavit states.

He’s accused of shooting a person on Oct. 21, 2025, in the 500 block of Walton Avenue and then fleeing the scene, a San Antonio police officer wrote in the affidavit.

Hours after Saiz fled the shooting scene, the affidavit said his ankle monitor recorded and sent a violation to parole personnel.

A parole officer later validated a warrant for Saiz’s arrest following the violation.

Saiz violated the conditions of his parole by removing the device, which had a GPS monitor, according to court documents.

Saiz’s last known location at the time was the H-E-B store, located in the 6800 block of South Zarzamora Street, the officer also wrote in the document.

Prior to his arrest, the affidavit states that Saiz did not attempt to contact a parole officer or enter a parole office to turn himself in.
