BEXAR COUNTY, Texas - A man with an extensive criminal history was sentenced to 25 years in prison Tuesday in connection with a 2024 murder on the far North Side.

Franco Xavier Summers, 34, took a plea deal as his trial was set to begin inside Bexar County's 226th Criminal District Court.

Prosecutors initially offered Summers the plea deal last week when Judge Benjamin Robertson, who typically presides over the court, rejected the agreement.
