A major security lapse at the Bexar County Jail has resulted in the wrongful release of Angel Salas, a convicted murderer. SAN ANTONIO - A major security lapse at the Bexar County Jail has resulted in the wrongful release of Angel Salas, a convicted murderer.
Salas, who was arrested at 17 in connection with a fatal shooting, accepted a plea deal for the murder of 32-year-old Michael Vargas during an attempted car break-in at a Twin Peaks restaurant in November 2024. He was sentenced to 20 years in prison. The Bexar County Sheriff's Office attributed the release to a system error, which allowed Salas to walk free instead of being transferred to a state prison. Two juvenile cases against Salas were dropped two days ago, but he was still supposed to serve his sentence for the murder conviction.The San Antonio Police Department is now actively searching for Salas, who is described as five foot ten inches tall with brown eyes and brown hair. Authorities urge anyone with information on his whereabouts to contact SAPD immediately.SAN ANTONIO - A McCollum High School teacher was taken into custody and charged with sexual assault of a child, according to the San Antonio Police Department.AA night full of fun and excitement turned into tragedy when a Laredo woman attending the UT vs A&M game died.Billionaires Michael and Susan Dell pledged $6.25 billion Tuesday to provide 25 million American children under 10 an incentive to claim the new investment accoBabson College has instructed faculty and staff to provide "academic and community support" to a student who was deported to Honduras.SAN ANTONIO -Authorities were called to the building around 12:25 p.m.Our chopper captured multiple police officers taking down a person near the news station
