SAN ANTONIO — A man has been accused of fatally shooting his cousin at a family gathering on the west side earlier this week, according to documents.
Ronnie Lee Regalado, 38, has been charged with the murder of 35-year-old Rudy Gumecindo Regalado.
On Monday, June 16, San Antonio police were called to the 300 block of North Pinto Street at West Travis Street around 5:30 a.m. for reports of a shooting.
Upon arrival, police officers found a 35-year-old man with a gunshot wound to his chest. The man was taken to a local hospital where he was pronounced dead.
