It sure seems like decapitation has become much more common lately doesnt it.

I think ISIS started the trend and I do think most of the incidents have been ISIS related but this one may be some other reason. Maybe to delay the identification of the body.
Glad LE found out who the poor victim was. Now hopefully his killer can be found.
 
I knew Javi when he lived in Mobile Alabama. Seemed like a super nice guy. I believe his family all live in Puerto Rico mainly. He worked in the food industry here. Hope there is some resolution soon with his case.
 
For two years, Soto called Houston home, according to a friend. His last known address is listed as an apartment on Club Creek in southwest Houston, but Soto was in San Antonio last weekend where he died.

A friend of the victim tells Eyewitness News his family lives in Puerto Rico. He was recently in a serious motorcycle accident in Houston. She described him as "nice" and therefore, the circumstances around his murder are "surprising." She and another friend contacted by Eyewitness News declined to be interviewed, in part, because of the brutality.

No other details have been released by San Antonio police about the investigation.

I know this is an old reply, but cartels have been decapitating as long as ISIS and the proximity to the border makes me think his involved drugs and he wrong side of cartel business.
