Rudy Gumecindo Regalado, 35, a male of Hispanic/Latino ethnicity, was shot during the early hours of Monday, June 16, 2025, on San Antonio’s West Side. Police were called to the 300 block of North Pinto Street around 5 a.m., where officers found him in the yard with a gunshot wound to the chest; he was taken to a hospital and later pronounced dead. Investigators said the gunfire followed a family gathering that escalated into an argument inside the home before spilling outside.
Detectives quickly focused on a relative who fled the scene in a gray or silver Jeep Cherokee. By the end of the week, authorities identified and arrested 38-year-old Ronnie Lee Regalado—Rudy’s cousin—on a murder charge. Records show he was booked into the Bexar County Adult Detention Center on Friday; affidavits describe a close-range shooting during the dispute.
Loved ones later memorialized Rudy’s life in public obituaries, noting his San Antonio roots and the creativity that drew him to drawing and the steady work he found in lawn care. Online remembrances mark his passing on June 16, 2025, and invite the community to share condolences.
