Leopoldo Mora is accused of shooting Kenneth Salazar, 57, in the abdomen on June 13, 2021, at the Paradise Motel, located in the 4900 block of W. Commerce.
– The murder trial is underway for a San Antonio man accused in a deadly shooting at a West Side motel.
On Monday, in the 226th District Court, prosecutor Raul Jordan said in opening statements that the state’s key evidence in the case was a witness who saw the shooting take place and surveillance footage from the motel that captured the incident. That surveillance footage video was played in court. It showed Salazar standing in the parking lot and then a gun pointed outside one of the motel rooms.A gun can be seen being pointed out of a motel room in surveillance footage. Prosecutors say the man holding the gun is Leopoldo Mora.The defense chose not to give opening statements and it is unclear if Mora will take the stand in his own defense later this week.
