Jorge Alberto Rivera, 39, was charged with murder in connection with the death of 43-year-old Javier Thomas Soto.A San Antonio man has been indicted on a murder charge in connection with the 2016 death of a Houston-area man who was found headless and handless, his body burned beyond recognition.
Soto was reported missing from the Houston area and was last seen on Aug. 20, 2016. The next day, his body was found in San Antonio, engulfed in flames inside a trash bin at the Marigold Apartments in the 2300 block of Goliad Road on the Southeast Side, police said. He had been decapitated and his hands severed.
According to the affidavit, once in custody, Rivera, 39, described details of Soto’s death, how he was killed and the condition of his body, to investigators, and also admitted he was the man seen in the surveillance video.The document stated, without detailing it, that Rivera revealed a motive behind the killing.
In a separate case, the DA’s Office said Friday that grand jurors on June 30 declined to indict a San Antonio police officer who last year fatally shot a man going through what family members said was a mental health crisis.
