Caesar Tijerina, 20, is wanted for capital murder, according to an SAPD post to its Facebook page. Police are also searching for a second suspect, whose identity cannot be released due to his age.SAPD and San Antonio ISD officers found Simon Cuevas, 14, with a gunshot wound to his abdomen at the corner of South Elmendorf Street and Merida Street on April 16, according to an arrest affidavit. Cuevas was later transported to a local hospital, where he later died., on Thursday and charged him with capital murder of a person older than 10 years old but younger than 15 years old in connection with Cuevas’ death.In Flores’ affidavit, witnesses told police that several individuals attacked Cuevas before one of them pulled out a gun and shot the teen. Surveillance video showed the group of five suspects were following him as he left school. Previous KSAT reporting indicated that he attended an alternative program at Brewer Academy. After Cuevas was beaten and shot, the group fled the area, according to the affidavit. Police said the suspects all worked together to plan the attack on Cuevas and participated in the assault that eventually led to his shooting death.“We are grateful to law enforcement for their pursuit of justice in this case.
