San Antonio police say they have their suspect in a 2024 northwest-side apartment killing, arresting 24-year-old Felix Brandon Garcia on Monday in connection with the shooting death of 20-year-old Isaiah Guevara. Officers found Guevara inside an apartment off Fredericksburg Road on Oct. 26, 2024, and later developed probable cause naming Garcia as the suspected shooter. Jail records show he was booked on a murder charge following the arrest.
Police: early-morning 911 call and a still-cold cup
According to WOAI, officers were dispatched around 4 a.m. to the apartment complex at 5315 Fredericksburg Road after a caller reported hearing gunfire and spotting bullet holes in a neighboring wall. When investigators checked the area, they found the victim’s door partially open, several spent shell casings inside the unit, and a clear QuikTrip cup filled with a red liquid on the dresser that was described as “still cold with condensation.”
Neighbor’s peephole view and doorbell video
As reported by KSAT, a neighbor told police they looked through their peephole and saw a young man in a red hoodie leaving the victim’s apartment, followed by a teenage male wearing a black shirt and cap. Doorbell-camera footage timestamped 3:39 a.m. shows three people running through the complex parking lot, one with long red hair, one in a red hoodie, and one in a black shirt, and a female voice can be heard on the recording.
Jail records: suspect booked on murder charge
Booking records list Felix Brandon Garcia as being held at the Bexar County Adult Detention Center on a murder charge, with booking number B202609656, according to Bexar County jail records. Officials say his arrest followed witness statements and surveillance evidence that detectives used to establish probable cause.
Affidavit: investigators allege an intentional killing
The arrest affidavit states that investigators believe Garcia “intentionally and knowingly caused the death of the Victim,” language that supports the murder count outlined in the case. WOAI reports that during follow-up interviews, a younger man who had been at the apartment and an indicted female suspect both identified Garcia as the shooter.
What happens next in the case
Garcia remains in custody as the case moves through Bexar County courts, where prosecutors will decide which charges to formally file. As KSAT noted, San Antonio police had not released any possible motive as of publication, and media outlets report they have reached out to SAPD for additional comment.
