A Texas man has been charged with capital murder after authorities say he shot and killed two brothers outside their family’s San Antonio home.
Daniel Antonio Perez, 40, is being held on a $2.3 million bond in connection with the deaths of 20-year-old Dravyn Quiroz and 11-year-old Maliki Perales. At a press conference Wednesday, Bexar County Sheriff Javier Salazar said the brothers were at their family’s home in San Antonio, Texas, and were backing a vehicle out of the driveway around 7:30 p.m. Tuesday when Perez allegedly came from his house across the street and began shooting.
Investigators later determined that Perez also fired at the victims’ two teenage siblings, Salazar said, though those shots did not hit them.
“While clearly there’s some sort of a mental health crisis going on, he still had the presence of mind and the culpable mental state to go conceal the weapon somewhere and then go conceal himself somewhere else,” Salazar said during the briefing.
Perez now faces two counts of capital murder and four counts of aggravated assault. His next court appearance was set for Nov. 3.
In the wake of the shooting, neighbors and friends launched a GoFundMe to help support the Perales family.
