SAN ANTONIO – A suspect has been arrested after allegedly fatally shooting a former tenant in a dispute during an apartment walk-through.<\/p>\n
According to an arrest report from the San Antonio Police Department, 37-year-old Joshua A. Ford was arrested and charged on Nov. 19 with murder relating to the deadly shooting.<\/p>\n
In December of 2022, police officers were called to the scene of a shooting in progress at a home owned by Ford, where the victim, identified as Michael Obryan Martin, had been living as a tenant.<\/p>\n
Police said that Martin had been living at the location for about a year, but Ford claimed that he had not received a rent payment for months, prompting Martin’s eviction.<\/p>\n
About a month after having moved out, Ford contacted Martin by telephone and had instructed him to go to the residence and leave the key.<\/p>\n
The suspect and the witness had arrived at the home to perform a walk-through inspection when Martin arrived at the home unexpectedly. Upon arriving, Ford and Martin started arguing.<\/p>\n
During this altercation, Ford and Martin made their way through the home, arguing, eventually ending up in the utility room.<\/p>\n
Ford told detectives that Martin had reached towards his body, as if he were going to pull a weapon. Ford told detectives he felt threatened and, in response, pulled out his firearm and fired at Martin, striking him twice.<\/p>\n
Martin was pronounced dead at the scene. Ford would be arrested on Nov. 19, 2025, now charged with Martin’s murder.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"SAN ANTONIO – A suspect has been arrested after allegedly fatally shooting a former tenant in a dispute…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":393981,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5133],"tags":[5229,7202,7203,358,3187,67,586,132,5230,68,2969],"class_list":{"0":"post-393980","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-san-antonio","8":"tag-america","9":"tag-san-antonio","10":"tag-sanantonio","11":"tag-texas","12":"tag-tx","13":"tag-united-states","14":"tag-united-states-of-america","15":"tag-unitedstates","16":"tag-unitedstatesofamerica","17":"tag-us","18":"tag-usa"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115586158666740672","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/393980","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=393980"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/393980\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/393981"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=393980"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=393980"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=393980"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
