Two men charged in the shooting death of San Antonio Independent School District student Simon Cuevas were indicted on lesser charges, records with the Bexar County Jail show.

Fernando Flores and Andrew Cantu, both 18 years old, were indicted on a third-degree felony charge of injury to a child/elderly/disabled person with bodily injury, according to records. They were originally charged with capital murder.

The downgrade happened weeks after two other suspects in the case had their charges lowered from capital murder to assault causing bodily injury, based on evidence. They are underage siblings and remain in custody in juvenile detention.
