The aunt and caretaker of a 38-year-old man suffering from schizophrenia said his enthusiasm for a car may have prompted an assault that led to his death days later.
“He was trying to take a selfie in front of this Bronco, and the driver of the Bronco didn’t like what he was doing and he just punched him out the window, and he fell to the ground. And he got up, is what the eyewitnesses said, and was trying to walk back across the street and fell again,” Davila said.
Emergency surgery was unsuccessful in stopping the bleeding, though, and Davila said the doctor told them parts of Puente’s brain were so bruised that he wouldn’t be able to walk again. After Puente died on Jan. 10, the Bexar County Medical Examiner’s Office ruled his death a homicide due to blunt force injuries.
Several callers said Puente had been assaulted or hit by a car, but the officer found no sign of being hit by a car. A cashier told police she had seen Puente talking to a man outside but hadn’t seen an assault or hit-and-run. The video from a nearby business shows Puente, who lived in an RV park nearby, walking casually through the parking lot toward the corner store at 1:45 p.m.
