David Charles McEntire, 46, of Corpus Christi was found with a gunshot wound inside an apartment on the 3700 block of Port Avenue on the morning of April 11, 2022. He was taken to a local hospital and later died of his injuries. McEntire, born April 1, 1976, served in the United States Navy as an Electrician’s Mate Second Class and was remembered by family as devoted to them and active in sports such as football, baseball and soccer.

Police said the shooting was not random and identified a suspect. After officers responded to a disturbance call, 30-year-old Manuel Fernandez III was arrested and booked on capital murder charges; the Corpus Christi Police Department continued investigating to gather additional evidence.

If anyone knew David, his routines, or has information about the Port Avenue apartment or that morning, please come forward to help investigators and the family.
