The latest episode of the South Texas Crime Stories podcast features a 2016 murder case that shocked San Antonio - the killing of San Antonio Police Department Detective Benjamin Marconi.
It was the first time we heard and saw all the evidence in the murder case of San Antonio Police Department Det. Benjamin Marconi.His father was an officer with SAPD and being a cop was a profession Marconi gravitated to. He ended up joining SAPD as well.“So I am Ben’s older brother, I’m the oldest of four siblings in our family,” Tom said. “[Ben’s] personality is probably bigger than life for us. He was that person, I think it’s safe to say everyone in the family gravitated to Ben.
Just before lunchtime, he pulled over a vehicle driven by Ricky Lee Martinez, who was with his family and visiting the River Walk.After Detective Marconi took the man’s license and walked back to his vehicle, another car pulled up.“Well, I realized that a black male ran up to the cop car and shots were fired. I didn’t want to see no more because I was scared of what had taken place,” Martinez said.
