SAN ANTONIO – The fallout from the wild Paesanos restaurant shooting keeps growing, as authorities said two more suspects are behind bars.
Gerardo “Cesar” Herrera, 61, was arrested Tuesday by San Antonio Airport Police, charged with a felony for allegedly tampering with evidence tied to the June 19 shooting that injured one person and shocked restaurant patrons.

Just hours later, 42-year-old Diego Arturo Rodriguez Salinas walked into the Shavano Park Police Department and surrendered. He’s now facing a misdemeanor assault charge for his alleged role in the brawl that spiraled into shots being fired.
The shooting happened around 9:30 p.m. at Paesanos restaurant near the corner of North Loop 1604 West and Paesanos Parkway.
Investigators say that a fight had broken out inside the establishment, with one of the males involved pulling out a gun and firing into the ground.
A man was taken to the hospital after having been wounded by bullet fragments.

Bruce William Gil, 37, was ID’d as the shooter in the June 19 Paesanos restaurant chaos, caught on security video and backed by witness accounts.
Shavano Park Police issued two felony warrants — Aggravated Assault with a Deadly Weapon and Deadly Conduct — before Gil turned himself in Friday evening with his attorney.
Cops say Gil fired into the ground during a brawl, injuring one man with bullet fragments. Gil’s legal team claims he was attacked by four men and acted in self-defense, surrendering his passport, firearm, and two vehicles.
He posted $120,000 bond and is currently under partial house arrest.
Cops had secured arrest warrants for both Herrera and Salinas Monday afternoon, adding fuel to the fire in an already explosive case.
Both suspects were booked into the Bexar County Adult Detention Center as investigators continue to unravel the violent showdown.
