What began as a routine workplace disagreement spiraled into a fatal confrontation on January 17, 2026, outside an Amazon fulfillment center in San Antonio, Texas. Authorities say a heated argument between co-workers escalated beyond words, ending in gunfire that claimed the life of 26-year-old Katrael Delosier.
According to investigators, tensions that had reportedly been building inside the facility followed the employees into the parking lot after their shifts ended. There, police allege that David Perez Morales Jr. confronted Delosier. What happened next unfolded in seconds but left irreversible devastation. Gunshots rang out, sending workers scrambling for cover. Delosier was struck and later pronounced dead. Another individual at the scene was injured in the chaos, though expected to survive.
Authorities further allege that Morales did not act alone. Jamari McKillion is accused of serving as the getaway driver, waiting nearby before fleeing the scene with the suspected shooter. Both men were later apprehended and now face first-degree murder charges, along with additional charges related to the injured victim.
Law enforcement officials described the incident as a tragic example of how quickly workplace conflicts can escalate when anger overrides judgment. What might have remained a verbal dispute instead turned into a deadly encounter that shattered a family and stunned a workforce. Co-workers who reported for what they expected to be an ordinary shift instead witnessed flashing police lights and crime scene tape.
Community members have expressed grief and disbelief, questioning how a disagreement between colleagues could reach such a violent conclusion. Grief counselors were reportedly made available to employees in the days following the shooting, as the fulfillment center grappled with the emotional aftermath.
The case now moves through the legal system, where prosecutors are expected to argue that the act was deliberate and coordinated. For Delosier’s loved ones, however, the legal process cannot undo the loss. One moment of rage in a parking lot has left permanent scars — a stark reminder of how unchecked conflict can destroy lives in an instant.
