Three people were charged with capital murder and aggravated robbery after a drug deal gone wrong ended in the shooting death of a teenager, according to an arrest affidavit.
Chelsey Lucero, 18, Angel Koenigstein, 19, and Nathaniel Velasquez, 24, are accused of setting up a fake meeting in order to rob a group of teenagers.
Bexar County Sheriff’s deputies were called to the 11200 block of Dublin Woods on April 12 after a 911 caller said there were teenagers outside popping fireworks and running toward a vehicle, the affidavit said. But when deputies arrived at the scene, they found two people suffering from gunshot wounds.
One victim died at the scene and the second was transported to the hospital with a gunshot wound in the buttocks.

Just before 3 a.m. on April 12, the three suspects drove to the meeting spot to meet with three teenagers. Velasquez and Lucero remained in the car while Koenigstein met with the three teens. Surveillance video from a doorbell camera shows Koenigstein pulling out a handgun and yelling “give me all your (sic),” the affidavit said. As the victims attempted to run, he shot at them multiple times, hitting two of the three teenagers, the affidavit continued.
One of the victims told police that they had known Koenigstein for several years, and at one point were as close as brothers.
Koenigstein was arrested on April 16 and identified Velasquez and Lucero as the two with him at the time of the shooting, according to the affidavit.
Velasquez was arrested on separate warrants on May 1. He told police that the three had been partying in a hotel when Koenigstein introduced the idea of robbing someone for drugs, the affidavit said.
Lucero said she didn’t remember much from the shooting because she was high on methamphetamine, according to the affidavit said. However, a witness showed police police text messages from Lucero that said Koenigstein was armed and that the three were committing robberies, the affidavit said.
She was arrested May 17.
Koenigstein’s bail was set at $250,000, Velasquez’s at $500,000 and Lucero’s is $100,000.
