A Texas man has been charged with his wife’s murder after he was found acting erratically and screaming while covered in blood “from the waist up.”
San Antonio Police responded to the scene on the city’s northwest side around 7 a.m. Monday and found 44-year-old Carlos Portillo “walking up and down the sidewalk here, just acting very bizarrely,” Sgt. Steven Bratina told KSAT.
Portillo told them the blood was his wife’s, according to a preliminary report seen by Law&Crime. Police have not publicly identified the 51-year-old victim.
“When officers arrived at the location, they contacted the man (suspect) and asked the suspect whose blood was on him,” the police document reads. “The suspect told police it was his wife’s blood (victim) and that the victim was inside their apartment shot. Officers went to the suspect’s apartment and found the victim unresponsive.”
The victim was shot at least once, police said.
Portillo has been charged with murder and drug possession.
