Incident Overview
On Sunday night, a planned fight during a work break escalated into a deadly shooting outside an Amazon fulfillment center in Far West Bexar County, Texas. The incident occurred around 10 p.m. in the parking lot off U.S. Highway 90 West, resulting in the death of 26-year-old Katrael Delosier and leaving another victim, Johnny Bermea III, in stable condition after being hospitalized.
Sequence of Events
The confrontation began earlier in the evening when Bermea confronted an unnamed Amazon employee about derogatory remarks. Following this, the two agreed to settle their dispute with a fight during their break. However, unbeknownst to Bermea, the employee contacted two friends, Jamari McKillion, 21, and David Perez Morales Jr., 20, for assistance, referring to them as "backup." Witnesses reported that during the break, the employee led Bermea towards a vehicle occupied by McKillion and Morales. Morales exited the vehicle and opened fire, fatally wounding Delosier, who was an unintended victim in the altercation.
Arrests and Charges
Both McKillion and Morales were arrested and charged with first-degree felony murder. McKillion was apprehended the following day at another Amazon warehouse, while Morales was arrested at his home. They are currently held on bonds set at $300,000 each. Investigators have cited surveillance footage, witness statements, and cell phone location data as evidence linking McKillion to the scene of the shooting.
