Avory Michael Rowe is suspected of killing Robert Ibarra along the Alazan Creek Trail.
SAN ANTONIO — Authorities are investigating after a man’s body was found in an area on the west side of San Antonio Tuesday.
The body was found on a trail around 8:15 a.m. at North San Jacinto Street and West Martin Street, just west of downtown. The body was found on the Alazan Creek Trail underneath the bridge at that intersection.
“The investigation is still ongoing at this point, and we have everybody working to try to figure out exactly what happened,” a police spokesperson said at the scene.
Officials have identified the body as 49-year-old Robert Ibarra. The medical examiner said Ibarra died from blunt force trauma to the head and strangulation.
On Friday, SAPD released the name and photos of Avory Michael Rowe, the murder suspect. Police later announced Friday night that Rowe was in custody.
Residents are urged to contact 911 or the SAPD Homicide office at 210-207-7635 with any information that might be helpful in the investigation.
