Antonio Fletcher, a 53-year-old man from San Angelo, Texas, tragically died on June 5, 2020, from injuries sustained in a shooting incident. The incident occurred at his residence in the 1200 block of Daniel Street, where his wife, Lisa Clemons, reported a domestic dispute. When police arrived, they found Fletcher with a gunshot wound to his left cheek. He was transported to Shannon Hospital in serious condition but showed no signs of brain activity and was placed on a ventilator.
Unfortunately, he passed away the next day due to the gunshot-related injuries.
Lisa Clemons, 38, was arrested at the scene and initially charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. However, the charge was later upgraded to first-degree felony murder after an investigation revealed that Clemons had made threats to kill Fletcher and had purchased a handgun in April 2020. Clemons had a history of domestic violence, including a previous arrest in 2019 for assaulting Fletcher with a gun. She was indicted on July 8, 2020, and remained in custody with a $1 million bond.
The case drew significant attention due to the domestic nature of the crime and the history of violence between Clemons and Fletcher. Clemons eventually pleaded guilty to the shooting death of her husband, and the court proceedings highlighted the severity of the incident and the impact on the family.
This tragic event underscores the importance of addressing domestic violence and providing support to those affected by it. The loss of Antonio Fletcher serves as a reminder of the devastating consequences that can result from unresolved conflicts and violence within families.
