Two men are facing murder charges after a planned fight during a work break at an Amazon fulfillment center in Far West Bexar County, Texas, escalated into a deadly shooting that left one worker dead and another injured.
Jamari McKillion, 21, and David Perez Morales Jr., 20, were arrested on first-degree felony murder warrants in the shooting death of Katrael Delosier, 26, according to the Bexar County Sheriff’s Office. The shooting occurred around 10 p.m. on Sunday, January 11, 2026, in the parking lot of the Amazon Fulfillment Center located at U.S. Highway 90 West and Loop 1604.
Deputies arriving at the scene found two victims suffering from gunshot wounds. Both Delosier and Johnny Bermea III were transported to the hospital, where Delosier later died from his injuries. Bermea survived and remained in stable condition.
The deadly confrontation stemmed from an argument earlier in the evening between an Amazon employee and Bermea. According to an arrest affidavit, the employee told investigators he had issues with Bermea dating back to high school. On Sunday, Bermea confronted the employee about talking and challenged him to fight. The two did not fight at that moment but agreed to settle their dispute during a scheduled work break.
During their earlier confrontation, Bermea told the employee he had a firearm in his vehicle. In response, the employee called friends to serve as backup for the planned fight. Unbeknownst to Bermea, this call would set the stage for the fatal shooting that followed.
When the work break arrived, the employee led Bermea toward a vehicle in the parking lot where his friends were waiting. Witnesses reported that McKillion was driving the vehicle, while Morales sat in the back seat. A witness observed McKillion wearing a ski mask and Morales with a hood covering his face as the employee approached the car.
A man then exited the vehicle and opened fire on the victims before the suspects fled the scene. Investigators believe Morales fired the shots from the back seat that killed Delosier and injured Bermea.
The investigation moved swiftly following the shooting. Surveillance video from the Amazon facility captured the moments before and after the shooting, showing the suspects fleeing the scene. Investigators also utilized cell phone location data and witness statements to piece together the events and identify the suspects.
On Monday, January 12, 2026, McKillion was detained at his workplace, another Amazon warehouse in San Antonio located in the 6800 block of Cal Turner Drive. His vehicle was seized as evidence by investigators. The same day, Morales was detained after exiting a residence in the 200 block of Mohawk Street.
Both men were charged with first-degree murder and are being held on bonds set at $300,000 each. The evidence used against them includes surveillance video, cell phone location data, and witness statements that placed both McKillion and Morales at the scene during the shooting.
The loss of Delosier has devastated his family and the community. He is survived by his wife and two young sons. His family described him as a hardworking father who had just completed college to become a mechanic. At the time of his death, Delosier was in the process of buying a home for his family, working to build a better life for those he loved.
Delosier’s family has retained Gamez Law Firm as the investigation continues. His brother emphasized the far-reaching impact of violence, noting that it destroys families, shatters communities, and changes lives forever.
Amazon responded to the tragedy with increased security measures at the fulfillment center where the shooting occurred. The company also announced it would provide counseling support to employees affected by the incident.
In a statement, Amazon said it was “heartbroken by the tragic loss of a valued member of our team and are keeping the victim’s family and loved ones in our thoughts.” The company added, “We’re providing support to the family and counseling support to employees.”
The case highlights ongoing concerns about workplace violence and the safety of employees at large fulfillment centers. Amazon facilities, which employ thousands of workers across the country, have faced scrutiny over working conditions and security measures. This incident marks another tragic example of violence spilling into workplace environments, even during scheduled breaks when employees should be safe.
The arrest affidavit does not specify whether the Amazon employee who had the initial argument with Bermea and called his friends for backup will face criminal charges. Legal experts note that individuals who facilitate or encourage violent confrontations, even without directly participating in the violence, can potentially face criminal liability depending on their level of involvement and intent.
The investigation remains active as law enforcement continues to gather evidence and build the case against McKillion and Morales. Both suspects now face first-degree murder charges, which carry severe penalties under Texas law, including the possibility of life imprisonment. First-degree murder charges in Texas are reserved for the most serious homicides, typically involving premeditation or occurring during the commission of another felony.
As the legal process moves forward, Delosier’s family continues to mourn the loss of a beloved husband and father whose life was cut short by violence. His death leaves two young boys without their father and a wife without her husband, all while he was working to provide them with a better future through his education and career as a mechanic.
