Two people are now charged with capital murder in connection with the death of a man whose body was dumped in southeast Bexar County in September, according to the sheriff’s office.
During a Tuesday news conference, Bexar County Sheriff Javier Salazar announced that Mark Anthony Moran, 39, and Carlos Alvidrez Jr., 36, face a capital murder charge after finding Jaime Adolfo Rodriguez dead on the Southeast Side.

Alvidrez and Moran were already jailed on charges of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and aggravated kidnapping when investigators obtained the capital murder warrants, Salazar said.
Rodriguez, 37, was found dead Sept. 6 on a private road in the 8000 block of New Sulphur Springs Road. The Bexar County Medical Examiner’s Office ruled his death a homicide, noting he suffered a gunshot wound to the upper left chest, head lacerations and multiple broken ribs.
An arrest affidavit states that the Bexar County Sheriff’s Office believes Rodriguez was lured the evening of Sept. 5 to a home off of Rivas Street.
Salazar said Rodriguez was beaten there, ran from the home and was chased down the street by people with guns, then was brought back, beaten again and forced into an SUV. Investigators believe he was shot inside the SUV and his body was left on New Sulphur Springs Road.
BCSO believes Rodriguez had taken about $12,000 in drug money from someone and that the killing was in retribution, the sheriff’s office said.
Three other people have been arrested in the case, according to BCSO.
Alvidrez and Moran are being held on $1 million bond, Salazar said. All five remain in the Bexar County jail.
Salazar said anyone with information about the case is asked to contact the sheriff’s office at 210-335-6000.
