Jose Tellez, a 33-year-old Hispanic man, was shot and killed on March 27, 2020, in Somerset, Texas. Deputies from the Bexar County Sheriff’s Office responded about 8:30 a.m. to the 8000 block of 3rd Street, outside the residence he shared with his partner, Maria Delrosario Mendez, 52, and found Tellez with multiple gunshot wounds to his upper torso; he was pronounced dead at the scene.

Mendez, described as his romantic partner, was arrested and charged with first-degree murder. Investigators say she shot Tellez several times in the head and upper torso and that he was killed by a vehicle outside the home. The couple’s three children, the oldest 13, were in the house during the shooting but were unharmed; the school district and Child Protective Services were notified. Bond for Mendez was set at $150,000 and the Bexar County Sheriff’s Office continues to investigate the motive and circumstances.

Does anyone in the Somerset area have information about the events that led to this shooting or knew Jose and his family?
