Delon Lamont Weaver, a 24-year-old African American male, tragically lost his life on May 24, 2021, in San Antonio, Texas. The incident occurred at the Antioch Village apartment complex on the East Side of San Antonio. According to reports, Weaver was staying with his girlfriend, who was the ex-girlfriend of Keith Corley, the suspect in the case. On the day of the incident, Corley arrived at the apartment complex in his 2004 Chevrolet Tahoe and knocked on the door of the apartment where Weaver
was staying. An argument ensued between Corley and Weaver, which escalated into a physical altercation. Corley grabbed Weaver by the hair, and they both went down the stairs. Corley then shot Weaver in the head, causing fatal injuries. Weaver was found lying on the sidewalk and was transported to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
Keith Corley, a 26-year-old male, was arrested in Madison County, Texas, later that day without incident. He was charged with murder in connection with the shooting death of Delon Lamont Weaver. Surveillance footage captured Corley arriving at the location and entering the apartment. The witness, who was present during the altercation, identified Corley as the suspect. Corley was extradited to Bexar County, where his bond was set at $150,000. The motive behind the shooting was linked to Corley's relationship with his ex-girlfriend, who was the mother of one of his children.
The legal proceedings against Keith Corley culminated in a trial where he was found guilty of murder by a jury in the 399th District Court. During the trial, evidence was presented that highlighted Corley's prior convictions for unauthorized use of a motor vehicle, robbery, and terroristic threat of a family member. The jury sentenced Corley to 50 years in prison for the murder of Delon Lamont Weaver. The case drew significant attention due to the tragic nature of the incident and the impact it had on Weaver's family, including his young son who witnessed the shooting. The Bexar County District Attorney's Office emphasized the importance of ensuring justice for Weaver and his family, acknowledging the hard work of the trial team in securing the conviction.
