SAN ANTONIO – The Schertz Police Department is asking for the public’s help in solving the death of Henry Gutierrez, whose body was found on Christmas Eve nearly nine years ago in 2015, after they developed a new person of interest in the case.

Gutierrez was found with multiple gunshot wounds at his home in the 2200 block of FM 3009 in Schertz.

“No evidence has been brought forward to eliminate any previous person(s) of interest, however through our continued cold case investigation, we have developed a new person of interest and are focusing our investigative efforts in this new direction,” Police Chief Jim Lowery stated.

Gutierrez was the owner of Bexar Waste, a trash service provider in the city, according to previous reports. His son, Miguel Gutierrez, said he found him dead when he went to the house because he had missed a meeting that morning.

The man’s stolen SUV was found parked at a San Marcos apartment complex in March 2016, and the Texas Rangers released a sketch of the possible shooter two months later, but so far, no arrests have been made.

The Guadalupe County Crime Stoppers is offering a reward of up to $75,000 for any information leading to an arrest and indictment.

Anyone with information is asked to call 1-877-403-8477 (TIPS).
