Man sentenced to 30 years in prison for murder outside Southeast Side home

SAN ANTONIO – A man convicted of murder in connection with the fatal shooting of another man last summer was sentenced Monday to 30 years in prison, according to a news release.

Joseph Limon, 38, shot and killed Gilbert Garcia, 36, on June 14, 2023, the release said.

The shooting happened outside a home in the 2200 block of Dollarhide Avenue, near Pecan Valley Drive and Interstate 37 on San Antonio’s southeast side.

Limon went to the mother of his child’s home and saw Garcia’s car parked in front of the house, officials said. Garcia was the father of the woman’s other child.

Limon confronted the woman with Garcia, which then led to Limon choking her, the release said.

A fight then broke out between Limon and Garcia, leading to Limon shooting Garcia in the chest and shooting him again as Garcia tried to flee, officials said. Garcia was pronounced dead at the scene.

Limon was arrested after a brief standoff, the release said. He later confessed to police about the shooting, which was corroborated by several witness statements and physical evidence.
