Authorities arrested Seth Anthony Segovia for an April shooting after discovering fingerprints linking him to stolen vehicles at the scene.
SAN ANTONIO — Another teen has been arrested in connection to a shooting that occurred on the far north side back in late April, according to an arrest affidavit.
Seth Anthony Segovia, 18, has been charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.
On April 22, authorities responded to the 23000 block of Fairway Bridge shooting, a subdivision near Highway 281 and Wilderness Oak, which was originally reported as a vehicle burglary.
According to BCSO, Orlando McLain told authorities his home had been shot at and his daughter was hit in the leg.
Deputies arrived at the residence and found the victim inside the home with a gunshot wound. Her father had initially used a tourniquet to treat her wound.
McLain claimed he saw two men near his vehicle through home surveillance cameras. After yelling at the men, they fled in a vehicle. Minutes later a white sedan returned and opened fire at the home, striking the door, a window and hitting the victim, according to BCSO.
Authorities said on that same day at 6:14 a.m., a second shooting occurred nearby. Deputies found two abandoned vehicles: a 2013 Hyundai Elantra and a 2020 Kia Optima – which matched the description from the first shooting.
Both vehicles were reported as stolen and the shell casings matched.
Fingerprints were lifted from the Elantra and matched Segovia and 19-year-old Caden Sylva, who was charged earlier this year for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and unauthorized use of a vehicle in connection to this case.
Investigators said Sylva was interviewed on April 28, claiming he heard about the shooting on the news and didn’t remember much because he was “off of pills.” Sylva later told investigators his friend “Tre,” identified as Segovia was “doing his thing” when a man came outside threatening to kill them and the next thing he knew gunshots rang out. Sylva said Segovia was the shooter and they fled to a girl’s house afterwards.
According to documents, he also confessed to being inside the stolen Elantra and admitted to being involved in vehicle break-ins.
Upon further investigation, authorities obtained video surveillance that placed Sylva at the first shooting. The shooter also matched Sylva’s physical description.
On November 16, Segovia contacted BCSO and said he wanted to confess and speak to someone about the case, claiming to be the shooter.
Authorities said, Segovia confessed that he and Sylva had returned to a house where they previously attempted to steal a vehicle because he believed he had left his phone there.
According to the arrest affidavit, Segovia told investigators he fired a shot from the vehicle and got into the back right passenger side before leaving the scene. He also said he fired shots into the air after the incident.
Investigators said Segovia told them he was under the influence and did not remember where he got the gun from or where the stolen vehicle came from.
