Texas Man Charged with Murder After Shooting Girlfriend’s Father Outside Taco Restaurant in San Antonio

A Texas man is facing murder charges after allegedly fatally shooting his girlfriend’s father during a dispute outside a restaurant.

According to reports Franco Xavier Summers, 32, has been charged in connection with the shooting death of 43-year-old Christopher Fuentes.

Following a night of drinking at their apartment on November 9, Summers, Fuentes, and Fuentes’ 23-year-old daughter went to a bar in San Antonio.

In a police interview, Fuentes’ daughter, who is also Summers’ girlfriend, stated that she and her father did not want to pay a cover charge, which led to an argument with Summers.

Summers then returned to his car and followed Fuentes around the parking lot while continuing to argue.

Surveillance video from a nearby Taco restaurant captured Fuentes reaching into the vehicle to grab Summers’ arm before urging his daughter to flee.

Summers then drew a gun and fired multiple shots, striking Fuentes fatally before driving away; fortunately, the daughter was unharmed.

On November 10, police were called to a residence for a report of a “family disturbance with a gun,” and identified Summers as the person involved.

He was arrested on a warrant related to Fuentes’ murder, as well as on three other unrelated warrants.
