A jury in the 144th District Court sentenced Ronnie Salas to 70 years in prison for the 2025 fatal shooting of Andre Montera, the Bexar County District Attorney's Office said.
Prosecutors said Salas believed his girlfriend was having an affair with Montera, who was her co-worker. On April 23, 2025, Montera was picking up his co-worker at an apartment when Salas, who had been waiting outside, confronted and shot him, according to the prosecution. Montera was taken to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
Assistant Criminal District Attorneys Cassandra Rosales and Caitlin Morgan led the prosecution, with support from Victim Advocate Rebecca Garcia and Investigator Edward Saucedo. District Attorney Joe Gonzales said the sentence honors Montera's memory and supports the office's commitment to protecting innocent lives and upholding the rule of law.
