A MAN claiming to be the grandson of a runaway murder suspect has posted a TikTok video confessing to the killing his grandfather is wanted for.
Authorities in Almeria are investigating the claim after the young man, who identified himself as Reinaldo Saul in the video, uploaded the video on Wednesday – though the clip has been since removed.
In the post, Reinaldo insisted he was the grandson of Antonio Santiago Muñoz, known as ‘Saul el viejo’ (‘Saul the elder’), who is wanted over the murder of a 22-year-old man on June 2, 2025, in Adra, near Almeria.
Police believe the killing is linked to escalating gang violence between rival narco clans in the area, the Sauls and the Lateros. The suspect is reportedly tied to the former group, while the victim is associated with the latter.
“I am the murderer, I am the one who did it,” Reinaldo said in the video.
He claimed he was ‘sick and tired’ of authorities describing his grandfather as ‘armed and dangerous,’ adding he would personally lead police to the location where he allegedly fired a shotgun at the victim.
The clip also contains a disturbing threat directed at a witness identified as ‘Martaguilla,’ whom Reinaldo refers to as the victim’s mother.
“Your son was disrespectful to my grandfather, he called him ‘fat’… So I took the shotgun and fired. You didn’t see anything, you liar, you b****,” Reinaldo said.

He added: “When I shot your son, he was blown backwards… You know what you’re achieving with this? I’ll have to come to you and kill a few more people.”
The extraordinary video marks a new twist in a violent feud between the rival clans, with authorities now assessing Saul’s claims while the search warrant for his grandfather remains active, according to police sources.
The Adra killing last year triggered further unrest in the area, with a series of retaliatory incidents reported in its aftermath.
At least four apartments and a vehicle were set ablaze in the following days, in what police described as likely ‘payback’ attacks.
Since then, police have increased patrols in Adra in an effort to prevent the violence from spiralling into a wider gang war, officials said.
