Albert Lynn Callahan, a 20-year-old male from San Antonio, Texas, was tragically killed on January 28, 2017. The incident occurred in the parking lot of a Days Inn Hotel located at 13800 Interstate 37. Callahan was involved in a drug deal that went wrong, leading to his untimely death. According to reports, Callahan had arranged to meet Michael Paul Reyes and Phillip Anthony Munoz for a drug transaction.
The deal was set up online, and when Callahan approached the car that Reyes and Munoz were in, he handed them an empty box and punched Reyes. In response, Reyes shot Callahan, who was later pronounced dead at the scene.
The investigation into Callahan's death led to the arrest of two suspects. Michael Paul Reyes, a 21-year-old male, was charged with murder in connection with the fatal shooting. He was arrested and remains in the Bexar County Jail on a $100,000 bond. Reyes was identified as the shooter by his accomplice, Phillip Anthony Munoz, who was also arrested and charged with murder. Munoz was placed at the scene of the crime using cellphone records and later named Reyes as the shooter during an interview with the police.
The case against Reyes and Munoz revealed that the two had gone to the motel to allegedly sell Callahan two ounces of marijuana. During the transaction, Callahan attacked Munoz, who was sitting in the passenger seat of Reyes' Chrysler 300. Reyes, who was in the driver's seat, then shot Callahan. The two suspects fled the scene, and Callahan was later found dead by the police. The investigation also uncovered that Munoz and Callahan had communicated through Facebook Messenger to set up the drug deal.
The tragic death of Albert Lynn Callahan highlights the dangers associated with illegal drug transactions and the violent outcomes that can result from such activities. The arrests and subsequent charges against Reyes and Munoz demonstrate the efforts of law enforcement to bring justice to the victim and his family.
