Teen accused of shooting, killing 15-year-old
Jose Medina, 19, was charged with murder, tampering with evidence and possession in connection with the fatal shooting of a 15-year-old.A 19-year-old has been arrested after being accused of shooting and killing a 15-year-old Brennan High School student last weekend.
Jose Medina has been charged with murder, tampering with evidence and possession with intent to deliver. Vape cartridges containing THC, an illegal substance in Texas, were found at the scene of the shooting.Just after midnight Feb. 12, Bexar County deputies were called to the 500 block of Lucrezia, where they found 15-year-old Ted Dean Johnson, who had multiple gunshot wounds. He was taken to the hospital, where he later died.
Investigators discovered that Ted had been on social media conversing with Medina about THC cartridges before the shooting. After the shooting occurred, Medina deactivated the account, according to the Bexar County Sheriff's Office.Deputies found surveillance footage from the night Ted was shot that shows him approaching a light-colored SUV. Some words were exchanged, then five to six gunshots ring out. The video shows Johnson fleeing on foot before collapsing shortly afterward.
Bexar County Sheriff Javier Salazar said that when investigators arrested Medina, he admitted being involved but minimized his role and tried shifting the blame to Johnson. “The evidence we have doesn’t jive with the story he is trying to tell us,” Salazar said at a news conference Friday night.
