Antonio – The United States Marshals Service sponsored
Lone Star Fugitive Task Force (LSFTF) arrested 20 year old homicide suspect
Jacob Sotello in San Antonio Monday afternoon after finding him hiding in
the 7700 block of Deer Lane in San Antonio, Texas.
Jacob Sotello came to the attention of the LSFTF after the San Antonio
Police Department developed him as the prime suspect in the shooting and
murder of 16 year old Hector Chavarria on 04/02/2008. Chavarria’s sister,
Janet Chavarria, was arrested by San Antonio Police shortly after Hector
Chavarria was shot and killed and also charged with murder in her brother’s
death.
The United States Marshal for the Western District of Texas LaFayette

whole community. Fortunately for the public, all those involved in this
murder are now behind bars where they belong.”
