SAN ANTONIO — A 19-year-old man San Antonio police have identified as Jason Gonzales, is accused of murder following an argument police say he had with his brother on June 14.

The incident happened at an apartment complex off Huebner Road and USAA Boulevard on the northwest side.
According to the arrest affidavit, one witness told investigators she was in a different room in the apartment when she heard a male voice say that if he had to shoot his brother, everyone inside the apartment was going to be shot.

Gonzales was booked into the Bexar County Jail over the weekend on a number of charges including murder.
His bond is set at $375,000.
