A man has been taken into custody after allegedly shooting and killing his girlfriend’s father outside a restaurant on the North Side of San Antonio.

The suspect, 33-year-old Franco Xavier Summers, faces a murder charge in the death of 43-year-old Christopher Fuentes.

The tragic incident occurred shortly after midnight on November 9 outside Taco Palenque on Blanco Road, near North Loop 1604 West.

According to the arrest report, security footage shows Fuentes approaching a vehicle that had just pulled up beside him.

Fuentes is seen engaging in a conversation with the driver—identified as Summers—and at one point, he reaches into the car to grab Summers’ arm.

As tensions escalated, Fuentes looked back and motioned to his daughter, signaling her to run. At that moment, the driver opened fire, shooting Fuentes multiple times.

Fuentes attempted to walk away but collapsed a few steps later. Summers then fled the scene in his vehicle.

Emergency responders pronounced Fuentes dead at the scene.

Fuentes’ daughter provided additional context to investigators, explaining that she, her father, and Summers had been at a nearby bar earlier in the night.

There, an argument broke out between Fuentes and Summers. In response, she and her father left the bar, walking over to Taco Palenque in an attempt to defuse the situation.

However, Summers followed them in his car and confronted Fuentes outside the restaurant, which led to the deadly shooting.

In addition to the murder charge, Summers is facing other charges, including assault and evading arrest.

He remains in custody at the Bexar County Jail as the investigation continues.
