Fiesta-Themed Rally Demands Answers In Killing

A Fiesta-themed rally in San Antonio is pressing for answers in the killing of Edward “Fatso” Trejo after a grand jury declined to indict the man once charged with murder. (kens5.com) Trejo, 29, was shot to death on Dec. 21, 2025, after a dispute tied to a noise complaint at a Christmas party near Cincinnati Avenue and Interstate 10, according to San Antonio police and local TV reports. (kens5.com) The Bexar County District Attorney’s Office said on March 20 that a grand jury returned a “no bill,” meaning jurors found no probable cause to move forward with charges against Paul Flores in Trejo’s death. (ksat.com) Trejo’s family has spent the month since that decision pushing for a fuller public accounting of what prosecutors presented and why the case unraveled after an arrest on a murder charge. Andrea Trejo, his mother, told local outlets she was informed late in the process that the case was nearing the grand-jury deadline. (news4sanantonio.com) The rally itself borrowed the look of Fiesta, San Antonio’s annual citywide celebration, with organizers calling it “Fiesta for Fatso.” KENS 5 reported the gathering was set for El Camino Food Truck Park & Bar and included a petition aimed at keeping attention on the case. (kens5.com) That Fiesta framing lands in the middle of one of San Antonio’s busiest weeks. Fiesta San Antonio opened April 16 and runs through April 26, with parades, medal trading and nonprofit fundraising spread across the city. (tpr.org) The case has also sharpened a familiar split between grieving relatives and the official explanation. Local outlets reported that Flores has claimed self-defense, while witnesses interviewed by KENS 5 disputed that account and said the confrontation did not justify deadly force. (news4sanantonio.com, kens5.com) Prosecutors have said little beyond the grand-jury result. In a statement carried by local media, the district attorney’s office said it could not comment further because the case could be refiled if new evidence emerges. (yahoo.com) For now, the family’s public campaign has shifted from court dates to community events, with Fiesta medals and bright colors repurposed into a demand that Trejo’s killing not fade from view.
