SAN ANTONIO — After two people were killed in a shootout in the far west in January, a 49-year-old man has now been charged with murder.

Nicolas Lopez is charged with the murders of Javier Alvarez and Janelle Lopez. They were found to have multiple gunshot wounds; Alvarez next to the car and Lopez inside the car.

This happened before 21:30 on Friday in the 6900 quarter on Calle Fincias.

The authorities found dozens of shell casings on the street and in the entrance. Two different types of shell casings have been found.

A witness told police about the incident, saying that they were in the backyard when gunfire rang out. The owner of the house is Lopez.
