San Antonio police identified Sanchez as the suspect in a preliminary report released Thursday.
On Wednesday, SAPD said in its initial report that the victim and a woman had met with Sanchez outside the home around 12:20 a.m.
The victim was “in the process of repaying a debt” to Sanchez when he pulled a gun and shot the man, police stated.
Sanchez fled into a nearby home after the shooting, and the victim later died at the hospital, SAPD said.
Details about what led to Sanchez’s arrest are unclear. A mugshot was not immediately available from the Bexar County jail.
The 21-year-old victim has yet to be identified by the Bexar County Medical Examiner’s Office.
Court records indicate Sanchez was ordered to be GPS monitored on full house arrest. A pre-indictment hearing is scheduled for April 28. He faces a $250,000 bond.
