A jury is set to determine whether a 47-year-old San Antonio man, Frank Deleon Falcon, fatally shot his mother Linda Webster, 66, and injured his stepfather Mark Webster over an eviction dispute in 2022. Prosecutors say Falcon had a clear motive, as the parents had evicted him from a property the day before the shooting due to unpaid taxes. Falcon's defense argues the state lacks physical evidence linking him to the crime.

Why it matters

This case highlights the potential for tragic violence stemming from disputes over housing and evictions, an issue that has become more prominent in recent years as housing costs have risen. It also raises questions about mental health, access to firearms, and the criminal justice system's handling of alleged repeat offenders.

The details

Prosecutors say Falcon went to the Websters' home on July 14, 2022, in all black clothing and shot his mother in her bedroom while she was in bed with her young granddaughter. He then allegedly shot his stepfather before leaving the home. The state said Falcon had been evicted from a separate property owned by the Websters just the day before, after they learned he had not paid $10,000 in taxes on the home over 4 years. Falcon's defense argues police never found the black clothes he was accused of wearing and could not link him to the crime through fingerprints or DNA.

  • On July 13, 2022, Falcon was evicted from a property owned by his parents due to unpaid taxes.
  • On July 14, 2022, Falcon allegedly shot and killed his mother Linda Webster and injured his stepfather Mark Webster.
