SAN ANTONIO, TX — A 25-year-old man has been charged with murder in the Sept. 2 stabbing death of Cecilio Reyes Lucio, 33, at a West Side apartment complex.

Bryan Wilson was booked into the Bexar County jail on Sept. 10, with bond set at $200,000, KSAT reported, citing an arrest warrant and jail records. He faces one murder count, described in the report as a first-degree felony.

Officers answered a stabbing call shortly after midnight Sept. 2 in the 1000 block of San Fernando Street, near Guadalupe Street. They found Lucio with multiple stab wounds. He was taken to a hospital and pronounced dead, according to the affidavit. KSAT reported that his cause and manner of death remained under investigation.

A witness described an altercation between Wilson and Lucio during which a knife was pulled out, the warrant states. The witness knew Wilson by the nickname “Chops” and Lucio as “Tips.”

Police allege Wilson stabbed Lucio repeatedly, then fled to a nearby residence on Torreon Street. Before leaving, he allegedly said, “I stabbed you b****,” according to the affidavit.

Investigators found a Facebook profile matching Wilson’s description that included “Chops” in its biography, the affidavit states. They also located an aggravated robbery case naming Wilson as a suspect. That robbery occurred at a home on the same street where he allegedly fled after the stabbing, according to the warrant. The report did not describe the robbery case’s outcome.

KSAT’s earlier coverage detailed the initial police response: Witnesses told officers several people were involved and inside an apartment, prompting a SWAT callout. People were removed and detained. In a Sept. 3 update, police said two people initially considered suspects were determined to be witnesses and released.

The reporting does not establish what prompted the altercation. Wilson’s arrest came eight days after Lucio’s death.

Presumption of Innocence: A presumption of innocence means that any defendant in a criminal trial is presumed to be innocent until they have been proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law. The defendant in this case is only accused of the charges set forth in the criminal complaint. They are innocent until proven guilty.
