20 years after Taco Land murders, San Antonio music scene honors legacy with Ram Jam festival https://www.ksat.com/news/local/2025/06/25/20-years-after-taco-land-murders-san-antonio-music-scene-honors-legacy-with-ram-jam-festival/

Such a wild and sad story

Very sad. Guessing this was a family mooch who wanted money and didn't get JT he wanted so he killed this old man. Awful.

Apparently there has been a long-standing family feud going on. I believe it was around 20 years ago that the family feud splint the ownership and restaurants. The one open on Sunday and served alcohol were owned by one side and the other side owned the "closed Sunday" ones. They all serve alcohol now. I suspect a lot of the details are going to ooze out during the criminal proceedings. The Netflix documentary in 5 years is going to be must see TV.

Just read the updated article. It is a wild story. Interested to hear the details that come out as to why. Besides prob drugs and or money.

The murderer had serious mental problems. This wasn't the first time he's taken severe actions. The victim (sorry I don't remember his name) knew he had issues, but valued family enough to open his home to him. Even had his housekeeper make lunch for the both of them. I wish he hadn't let him in.
