A San Antonio man was sentenced to four concurrent 50-year prison terms for a string of violent crimes, including the murders of two men he lured using a dating app, the Bexar County Criminal District Attorney shared on Sunday. Judge Kristina Escalona of the 186th District Court handed down the sentence to Jer Auntey Pleasant, 25, following his conviction for the 2023 killings of Larry Wilson and Joseph West.
Pleasant’s two-day string of violent crimes began in April 2023. On April 14, Wilson was found shot to death in his vehicle. Investigators accessed Wilson’s phone and uncovered messages with Pleasant, who identified himself as “Derek” on the Grindr dating app. The following day, West was discovered in his apartment with a fatal gunshot wound to the head. Ballistics testing later confirmed the same firearm was used in both homicides.
