Las Palapas Founder Killed; Family Member Arrested

Edward 'Ron' Acosta, the founder of Las Palapas restaurants in San Antonio, was fatally stabbed at his Stone Oak home on Tuesday morning. Police identified the suspect as 39-year-old David Ruiz, a family member from California, who had been invited to stay at Acosta's home before an argument turned violent. Acosta was found deceased in the garage with multiple stab wounds by his housekeeper, who alerted authorities. Ruiz fled but was apprehended later that morning in Kimble County. Police Chief William McManus described the case as 'high-profile' and assured the public there is no ongoing threat. The investigation remains ongoing with further updates anticipated.
