The general who captured James Fannin and his men was José de Urrea, a Mexican general during the Texas Revolution. Urrea led a successful campaign against Texian forces and ultimately defeated Fannin at the Battle of Coleto in March 1836. After Fannin's surrender, Urrea was ordered to execute the prisoners, which led to the Goliad Massacre.
