Family of paralyzed Marine vet allegedly shot by migrant speaks out as health issue could delay testimony
Summary
Marine veteran Jimmy Friesenhahn, who was paralyzed after being shot while working security at a San Antonio sports bar on May 4, 2025, was expected to testify against Wilmer Vladimir Ruiz Ortega on charges including aggravated assault against a security officer. However, Friesenhahn was hospitalized after complications from August surgery and may be unable to appear. Police allege Ortega fired during a struggle after Friesenhahn tried to stop him from entering with a gun. The family also questions why Ortega remained free despite prior arrests and court-related violations.
