Suspect Facing Homicide Charge
San Antonio, TX - Alfred Angel Eslora, 26, was arrested
today by members of the United States Marshals Service Lone Star Fugitive Task
Force (LSFTF) in Pleasanton, TX. An arrest warrant was issued pursuant to an
investigation by the San Antonio Police Department Homicide Unit (SAPD), where
it is alleged that Eslora committed homicide. Eslora also had unrelated arrest
warrants involving felon in possession of a firearm, assault, and DWI.
On December 21, 2015, members of the LSFTF initiated an
investigation in locating and apprehending Eslora. Today, through investigative
efforts and extensive surveillance, task force officers located Eslora hiding
out in a residence located in the 400 block of Cactus Road, on the north side
of Pleasanton, TX. Task force officers entered the residence, identified
themselves, made contact with Eslora, and took him into custody without
incident. Task force officers also arrested Jesse James Leal, 39, for having unrelated
warrants involving aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and parole violation
for manslaughter.
On December 20, 2015, Eslora allegedly shot and killed a man
in the parking lot of an apartment complex located in the 400 block of Montrose
Street, in San Antonio. Reports stated that Eslora and the victim were involved
in a verbal altercation that quickly escalated to a fist fight and later
resulted in Eslora pulling out a handgun and shooting the victim multiple
times. Eslora immediately fled on foot before police officers arrived and the
victim died at the scene. After a thorough investigation by SAPD Homicide
detectives, a warrant was issued for Eslora’s arrest and Crime Stoppers offered
a $5,000 reward for information leading his arrest.
Eslora is currently being held in custody at the Bexar
County Sheriff’s Office.
Robert R. Almonte, United States Marshal for the Western
District of Texas, stated, “Eslora tried to run, tried to hide, and tried to
avoid being captured, but our task force officers are phenomenal at what they
do…find fugitives and put them in jail.”
