Alejandro Aldava, a 31-year-old man from San Antonio, Texas, tragically lost his life on May 17, 2015. He was fatally shot outside Brooks Pub in the 3300 block of Lasses shortly before 2 a.m. Surveillance footage captured an argument between Aldava and 33-year-old Arturo Cervantes, who was later identified as the suspect. During the altercation, Cervantes allegedly shot Aldava before driving away from the scene.
Following the incident, Cervantes was arrested six months later on November

The investigation revealed that Cervantes had attempted to leave the pub with two beers before being stopped by witnesses. After the argument escalated, Cervantes drove away but then performed a U-turn and approached Aldava again before allegedly shooting him.
The case drew significant attention from law enforcement and the community, with police releasing surveillance footage to the public in hopes of identifying additional persons of interest. Despite the arrest and ongoing investigation, the legal proceedings and potential outcomes remained uncertain, as Cervantes was out on bond and awaiting further legal actions.
