Bryan Salazar faces capital murder charges after Isaiah Perales was indicted in January for same attack
A second man is in custody stemming from a San Antonio mᴀss shooting that left a home riddled with bullets and a young girl ᴅᴇᴀᴅ.
Bryan Salazar, 20, is now in custody and charged with capital murder, injury to a child, aggravated ᴀssault from a mᴀss shooting and drug and gun offenses, according to the Bexar County Sheriff’s Office.
Police said that on May 8, 2024, Maryann Marble, 4, was “fatally sH๏τ by the suspects after firing multiple rounds from an AK-47 style weapon,” adding that several others inside the home were sH๏τ and injured during the attack.
Isaiah Perales, the first suspect in the shooting, was arrested in October and indicted in January. He was also charged with capital murder, injury to a child and aggravated ᴀssault from a mᴀss shooting, the sheriff’s office said.
During the 2024 rampage, two suspects wearing masks were captured on surveillance video shuffling up a driveway and firing weapons towards the home. The video captured bright flashes from the muzzles of the guns as the suspects fired. They immediately fled the scene.
According to News4 San Antonio, four people inside the home were injured in the shooting along with Marble, who was killed.
That outlet said that Crimestoppers tips and data analysis from Salazar’s phone led police to him.
Revenge was the motive, according to Bexar County Sheriff Javier Salazar.
A 20-year-old man named Xavier Perez, reportedly a relative of Bryan Salazar, was killed two weeks prior to the shooting at Marble’s home. That’s when Salazar began planning the attack, the sheriff said.
The pair allegedly stole an Infiniti Q50, which was used during the attack.
“This was a calculated act,” the sheriff said. “They stole the car, they conducted surveillance, and then carried out the shooting.”
The investigation remains underway and police have a third person of interest.
“This is a big case,” the sheriff said. “My investigators have done an outstanding job following leads, but there’s always more information out there. If anybody knows something, we’re asking them to come forward.”
