Jimmy Nunez, a 36-year-old man from San Antonio, Texas, was tragically killed on January 27, 2016. He was found dead at around 11 p.m. in a mobile home that had been converted into an 8-liner gaming room on Oak Island Drive. The Bexar County Sheriff's Office determined that his death was a homicide, and preliminary investigations suggested that the killing occurred after an armed robbery.
The suspects involved in the robbery were believed to have their faces covered with masks.
Two individuals, Ramon Salazar Jr. and Gilberto Ibarra, were arrested and charged with capital murder and attempted armed robbery. Salazar confessed to shooting Nunez during the robbery, and Ibarra was also implicated in the crime. Both men were eventually sentenced for their roles in Nunez's death. Salazar received a 60-year prison sentence, while Ibarra was sentenced to 35 years.
