A second man is in custody stemming from a San Antonio mass shooting that left a home riddled with bullets and a young girl dead. 

Bryan Salazar, 20, is now in custody and charged with capital murder, injury to a child, aggravated assault from a mass 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 shot by the suspects after firing multiple rounds from an AK-47 style weapon,” adding that several others inside the home were shot and injured during the attack.

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.”
