18-year-old arrested for fatal shooting in Seguin, police say

The victim was identified as Juan Pablo Juarez Jr. Ten days after the shooting, police said they served Steven Herrera a warrant for the murder.

SAN ANTONIO — The Seguin Police Department says they arrested an 18-year-old for murder after a man was shot and killed on Friday, June 16.

Police responded to a call for shots fired in the 1600 block of North Austin Street in Seguin around 12:05 p.m.

Officers say a 49-year-old man was found dead at that location. Seguin officials later identified the man as Juan Pablo Juarez Jr. 

Ten days after the shooting, Seguin police said they had served 18-year-old Steven Herrera with an arrest warrant for murder. They said that Herrera had initially been arrested on June 23 for two Deadly Conduct warrants for shooting a firearm, unrelated to the shooting on June 16.

Police said more information would be released at a later date.
