SAN ANTONIO -- Police have arrested one of three suspects wanted in connection with the beating death of a man.

Police say 41-year-old Juan Romero was attacked by three men outside the Diamond D Food Mart at Vance Jackson near West Avenue Monday night. Police say Romero was followed into the store by one man. When he walked out of the store, two other men attacked him.

"It appears the victim was trying to get back into the store when a third suspect came out and began to attack him," said Matt Porter from the San Antonio Police Department.

Romero was taken to University Hospital where he died during surgery.

Police arrested one of the suspects, 25-year-old Bernardo Crisanto, on Thursday. A murder warrant has also been issued for 40-year-old Larry Castro. Police are still trying to identify a third suspect, who was wearing a gray muscle shirt.

If you have any information about the WHEREABOUTS OF LARRY CASTRO, the IDENTITY AND/OR WHEREABOUTS OF THE THIRD SUSPECT, or any other information about this murder, please immediately contact Crime Stoppers at 224-STOP (7867), submit a tip online, or text a tip by texting "Tip 127 plus your tip" to CRIMES (274637).

For all you people talking all this mess about my husband, for one he is a loving father and he never hurt anyone before this, he was asked to fallow someone to that place and he didn't even know what was going to happen that night at the store i was in the car with him that night and he had no intentions of hurting that man, he has always been a good person and this is the first time he has ever done anything like this, so why don't you keep your fat jokes to urselves and get a life, cuz i have known him for too long, i know he didn't intend for any of this to happen, i feel terrible for the man who died that night and im so sorry for his family but Bernardo has a family and a little girl that is crying for her daddy everyday and it is tearing me apart to see all of you making all these jokes about him....he has been and always will be my big ol' teddy bear, he didn't mean to hurt that man and that comes from the deepest depths of my heart....

I know a crime is a crime, but I knew Bernardo growing up and he was one of the sweetest guys I knew! He even gave me a necklace as a gift once! I would never try to condone what he or the other two guys did and my heart goes out to the victims family! But my heart also goes out to Barneys family. His Brother, who I also had the privileged of knowing while just kids, im sure he is torn up about this! No one knows why some unthinkable choices are made and all I can say is I hope all ends of this situation is handled quickly and with as little judgment from people who don't even know them as possible! God Bless both these families! Jessica Garcia (rangel)

ROFL, wh4tup! Jdiaz- Just because he was a nice guy back in the day doesn't mean he's a decent human being now. My brother is an intelligent individual, but a sleazy drug addict...crime is crime. LOL I knew someone would come on here to defend this cat. Someone always cries out what a great guy or gal the person is. Uhhhhh- obviously NOT!

And it all happened cause these fat people wanted donuts and icees about the same time. That Diamond mart might even sell tamales with the hot dogs, so thats also a possibility.
