Arrest made in connection with 2022 murder of man on the south side

Police say the murder happened in July of 2022 off South Flores and Beatrice on the south side.

SAN ANTONIO — Police have made an arrest in a murder case after a year-long search for a suspect.

Jaime Garza, 24, is now charged with killing 28-year-old Luis Flores. Police say the murder happened in July of 2022 off South Flores and Beatrice on the south side.

Surveillance video showed a struggle at the victim's truck before Garza fires his gun. Police say he then fired more rounds before driving off in the victim's truck, leaving him to die.

Despite a warrant out for the murder, Garza was not charged until Wednesday when he was arrested and brought in for an unrelated charge.
