San Antonio police have publicly named a suspect in a deadly downtown shooting that killed a 32-year-old man in June 2025 and are asking the public to help locate him. Investigators say 25-year-old Walter Whiten is wanted in connection with the killing on the 700 block of North Alamo Street, an area known for bars and late-night hangouts.
Suspect Named In Social Media Callout
The San Antonio Police Department went to Facebook this week to put a name and face to the case, saying Whiten is wanted on suspected murder and aggravated assault in connection with the June shooting. As reported by KSAT, the department posted Whiten's photo and asked residents to contact detectives with any tips that might help locate him.
Victim Identified, Parking Lot Turned Crime Scene
The man who died was later identified as 32-year-old Allan Roquemore, according to reporting by the San Antonio Express‑News. Officers found Roquemore with multiple gunshot wounds in a parking area near bars on the 700 block of North Alamo Street, where he was pronounced dead at the scene. The medical examiner ruled the death a homicide, San Antonio Express‑News reported.
Argument Turns Deadly, Witnesses Tell Police
Investigators say witnesses reported seeing Roquemore talking and arguing with the suspect moments before gunfire erupted. One account describes the suspect pulling a handgun, firing, and then taking off on foot into the downtown streets. That description of the confrontation and the early police response appeared in earlier coverage of the June incident by KSAT.
Detectives Say Even Old Tips Could Help
The department is urging anyone with information to contact the Homicide Unit at (210) 207-7635 or Det. Goodwin at (210) 207-7674. Investigators emphasized that even older tips, including video, photos or eyewitness accounts, could prove crucial to moving the case forward.
Violence Shadows Alamo Street Nightlife
The North Alamo nightlife corridor has grappled with other violent incidents in recent months, including a February 2025 shooting outside popular bars that led to an arrest and renewed questions about safety, MySanAntonio reported. Business owners and law enforcement have been trying to strike a balance between drawing crowds and keeping them safe while investigations and arrests continue to play out.
Potential Charges And Penalties
Under Texas law, murder is generally prosecuted as a first-degree felony, with potential penalties ranging from decades in prison to life behind bars. Aggravated assault, which can apply when a deadly weapon is involved, is typically charged as a felony as well, according to state-law resources on FindLaw. Any formal charges would come from prosecutors after investigators present their findings.
The investigation remains active, and no arrests have been publicly announced. Police continue to urge anyone with information to contact the San Antonio Police Department's Homicide Unit or Det. Goodwin.
