The victims\u201424-year-old Anthony Barrera and 20-year-old Alek Pacheco\u2014were both pronounced dead, Barrera at the scene and Pacheco later at a hospital. A third person suffered a gunshot wound to the foot and was treated and released.<\/p>\n<p>Investigators say the confrontation began inside the bar after Barrera was approached by a man identified as the estranged husband of a woman Barrera had been dating. The conflict spilled outside, where a second individual reportedly ripped a necklace from Barrera\u2019s neck, sparking a separate fight. It was during the chaos that roughly eight shots were fired, hitting all three victims.<\/p>\n<p>Bowman is now one of several people implicated in the case. Nineteen-year-old Jeremiah Jayden Tobias was previously arrested and charged with two counts of capital murder and one count of aggravated assault. Police also arrested a 16-year-old boy Saturday night in a separate, but related, aggravated robbery case.<\/p>\n<p>A capital murder warrant had already been issued for Bowman\u2019s arrest before his capture. Police say the investigation is ongoing and more arrests could follow.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"SAN MARCOS, Texas &#8211; A teenage boy was arrested early Tuesday morning in connection to a deadly weekend&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":83227,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5133],"tags":[56639,5229,56638,12424,47597,5022,7202,48789,7203,101,56637,358,3187,67,586,132,5230,68,2969],"class_list":{"0":"post-83226","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-san-antonio","8":"tag-alek-pacheco","9":"tag-america","10":"tag-anthony-barrera","11":"tag-arrest","12":"tag-double-homicide","13":"tag-investigation","14":"tag-san-antonio","15":"tag-san-marcos","16":"tag-sanantonio","17":"tag-shooting","18":"tag-teen-suspect","19":"tag-texas","20":"tag-tx","21":"tag-united-states","22":"tag-united-states-of-america","23":"tag-unitedstates","24":"tag-unitedstatesofamerica","25":"tag-us","26":"tag-usa"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/114897023381355481","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/83226","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=83226"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/83226\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/83227"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=83226"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=83226"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=83226"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
