Bexar County Sheriff Javier Salazar on Monday, Feb. 9, 2026, pulled back the curtain on two active investigations, laying out what his office is ready to say publicly about an alleged murder plot and a separate arrest tied to a recent drug seizure.
Salazar delivered the update live, fielding reporters’ questions while deputies walked through the status of both cases. As reported by News 4 San Antonio, the briefing offered fresh context but stopped short of releasing full charging documents or a detailed evidence inventory.
What we know so far
According to the sheriff’s office, investigators are probing an alleged plan to kill a target, while deputies have also announced an arrest tied to a separate drug seizure. Officials said during the livestream that they are not yet releasing suspect names, specific charges or exact quantities of drugs. Both investigations remain open and active, with detectives still building their cases.
Local context
Bexar County has seen several sizable drug operations in recent years, including a March 2025 bust that uncovered about 20 kilograms of meth and heroin with an estimated street value near $500,000, as reported by the San Antonio Express-News. The Houston Chronicle detailed another seizure in which deputies recovered roughly a kilo of fentanyl that officials said could have been pressed into hundreds of thousands of potentially deadly pills.
What remains unclear
As of publication, investigators had not posted charges or court records tied to the new matters, and the sheriff’s office had not issued a written press release listing out the evidence, according to the live stream coverage. Salazar told reporters that more information will be released as investigators firm up their cases, and he urged anyone with relevant tips to contact law enforcement.
How to follow the case
Updates are expected to appear on the sheriff’s official channels and in county court records as filings are made. Residents who have information or want to track developments can contact the sheriff’s office or use the county’s online tools for public records. The Bexar County portal lists public contact numbers and guidance for records requests.
This remains a developing story. For now, the live briefing and the sheriff’s official outlets are the main sources of confirmed details, and more specifics are likely to surface as the legal process moves forward.
