Man found dead under downtown San Antonio bridge identified, medical examiner’s office says

SAN ANTONIO – A man who was found dead under a downtown San Antonio bridge has been identified, according to the Bexar County Medical Examiner’s Office.

The body of Juan Israel Ibarra, 29, was found around 1 p.m. on June 11 under Interstate 10 near North Frio Street. The medical examiner’s office has not yet ruled on a cause and manner of death.

San Antonio police told TheTXLoop that officers were dispatched to the area for an injured or sick adult. Upon arrival, officers found Ibarra dead underneath the bridge.

Authorities are investigating “the possibility that there may be a gunshot wound to the victim’s chest,” according to police.

However, due to the influx of rain eroding possible evidence, they couldn’t rule out a gunshot wound as a cause of death, police at the scene told TheTXLoop.

Police said they aren’t ruling out the possibility of Ibarra’s death being ruled a homicide.
